Chapter 15: California

There is no denying the fact that California, particularly the Los Angeles area, is the capital of tv and movie production in the United States. With studios such as Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers and Universal based in the area, it is the first choice for many filmmakers to base their operations.
However, with Washington D.C. being the capital of the U.S., it's location is the basis for many television shows and movies each year. With such important and historical backdrops such as the White House, the U.S. Capitol building, F.B.I Headquarters and the National Mall, it is no wonder that many political based shows and movies choose D.C. as their primary filming location.
The following is a list of just some of the t.v. shows and movies that have been filmed in the D.C. area:

• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
• In the Line of Fire
• Spy Game
• JFK
• The Exorcist 
• The X-Files
• Bones
• NCIS
• Homeland
