Eyewitness News 9: One Tree Hill Films Episode in Kinston

---

“The Kinston airport was slammed packed with camera crews, extras, and fans hoping to get a glimpse of their favorite celebrities.

“I wanted to meet Chad Michael Murray and all the others stars of One Tree Hill,” said one fan.

The hit show, normally filmed in Wilmington, was shooting a scene for the new season.

“Kinston airport happen to fit all the requirements we needed. We pretty much have open access to the airport itself, it’s not very busy, and it’s a great opportunity and we took advantage of it,” said Chris Allen, Locations Assistant for Warner Brothers Television for the production of One Tree Hill.

The TV show wasn’t the only one with a great opportunity.

StarNews: ‘Gentlemen’s club becomes location for ‘One Tree Hill’ filming

---

A blonde and a brunette in tuxedo corsets sat in the New Hanover County Government Center in their fishnets and heels early Tuesday morning.

Extras waited around in the building next to one of the more unusual Wilmington locations where “One Tree Hill” filmed. Pure Gold, the gentlemen’s club near the intersection of College Road and Market Street, was taken over Tuesday for filming for the series’ ninth and final season.

“I just hope none of my church friends see this or recognize me,” said Doug Shaw, a Clinton resident who’s been an extra at least once on every season since the third.

Wilmington resident Jeff Henderson, who has been acting since 2007, returned for his third season as an extra on the show.

He said it’s been a surreal experience to see his hometown on screen – but he wasn’t especially surprised to be filming at the club after working on several other Wilmington productions, like “Piranha 3D.”

“I expected to be an extra doing everything,” Henderson said about working on the “One Tree Hill” set.

“I never expected to be covered in fake blood being eaten by fish. So there’s nothing I don’t expect anymore.”

StarNews: Studios could be busy this summer with ‘One Tree Hill’ to resume filming

---

With Tuesday’s news that “One Tree Hill” will be around for a ninth season, activity is beginning to pick up at EUE/Screen Gems Studios’ Wilmington campus.

“People have started sticking their heads in the door,” Bill Vassar, Screen Gems executive vice president, said Wednesday afternoon. “We’ve been seeing people with smiles on their faces that they’re coming back to work.”

Among those are John McIntyre, who has been a crew member with the series all eight seasons.

“I worked full-time on ‘One Tree Hill’ as an assistant cameraman for the first four years and part-time as a day player the last four years,” he said. “Having a series in production anchors the town and gives the crew base here stability.

“I’m relieved and excited to hear of the season 9 pickup. It’s been a long-running job in a clean industry that has tremendous economic benefits for North Carolina.”

Production offices for “One Tree Hill” will open in June, and filming will start by the middle of July, Vassar said.

The renewal comes amid optimism about the possibility of two other series that shot their pilots here – ABC’s “Revenge” and The CW’s “Hart of Dixie – continuing to film in this area. Both have been picked up for production, but locations have not been determined.

Local officials have their fingers crossed.

Guy Gaster, production services executive with the N.C. Film Office, said the state’s recently enhanced incentive package has played a leading role in putting North Carolina back on the map of the studios.
