What began as a passion project grew into a feature documentary created from nearly 100 original interviews with cast, crew, and fans, exploring the lasting cultural and personal impact of The X-Files.
The documentary was screened in New York City alongside series creator Chris Carter and guest star Joel McHale. The event received press coverage by Variety, Fangoria, Comic Con, IMDB and more.
Beyond the film, Lauren and Carly attend events and conventions to celebrate the series through panels, screenings, and interactive fan experiences. They’re proud to help keep The X-Files legacy alive as they complete the final cut of their documentary.
