 ²/¾Background²/

¹The  X  Files_  is a television series
dealing   with  two  FBI  agents,  Fox
Mulder   and   Dana   Scully,  in  the
Bureau's Violent Crimes section.  They
work  with  the  "X files," cases that
have  unexplainable elements and often
involve the paranormal.

The   series   was  created  by  Chris
Carter.   Executive  producer  for the
show  is  Chris  Carter.  Co-executive
producers are R.W.  Goodwin and Howard
Gordon.   and  the co-producer is Paul
Rabwin.   Charles Craig is supervising
producer.   Rob  Bowman,  Kim Manners,
and Joseph Patrick Finn are producers.
¶Story   editors  are  Frank  Spotnitz,
Darin  Morgan,  and Jeff Vlaming.  The
show  is  filmed  almost  entirely  in
Vancouver,   British   Columbia.   For
third   season,   the   show  will  be
broadcast  in  Dolby  Surround  Sound.
The  X  Files  is  *not  based on true
events  or  real  FBI  X  files.*  The
episodes   are   fiction,   the  plots
loosely   based  on  news  reports  of
unexplained  events  around  the world
and  other unexplained phenomena.  The
pilot  does  open  with  a note saying
that  the  events  were  based  on  an
actual  real-life  story,  but was not
meant  to  imply that there are real X
Files.
