Who’s who in the Wilmington, NC film industry? A guide to top players


Wilmington’s film industry had a rough year in 2023, with only a few film and television productions shooting here before strikes by unions representing writers and actors shut things down for most of the year.

With the strikes resolved, the industry looks to bounce back in 2024. Here are some of the people who will be deeply involved or even leading the charge.

Chris Crowder

Chris Crowder is head of client services and operations at Cinespace Studios in Wilmington.

In October of last year, when Cinespace, a worldwide collection of film studios, puchased the Wilmington and Atlanta campuses of EUE/Screen Gems Studios, Crowder was named head of client services and operations in Wilmington.

Crowder was previously Vice President of Physical Operations for EUE/Screen Gems Studios, and in Wilmington he takes over for the longtime local Screen Gems chief Bill Vassar, who retired at the end of 2023.
