Ten Thirteen Productions is the name of the production company of Chris Carter. It was named after Carter's date of birth (10.13 = 13th October). During the production period of The X-Files it was located in a bungalow at the FOX Lot in Century City. The company's logo, which can be seen in the credits of each production, consists of a flickering movie projector that projects the words "Ten Thirteen" in block letters on a canvas and a boy (Nathan the son of Thierry Couturier) can be heard saying "I made this!".

The term is sometimes used synonymously by the X-Files fandom to refer to TPTB.

History

Ten Thirteen was founded in 1993 by Chris Carter for the production of The X-Files. After the success of the series, Carter also produced all the other series he had created. In 2002, after the end of the original run of the X-Files, the company dissolved, but re-established itself for the second film. The code name was "Crying Box Productions".
