Description

New Mexico’s diverse landscapes and atypical light have attracted filmmakers since 1898 when Thomas Edison sent camera crews to Isleta Pueblo to shoot a short film entitled Indian Day School. Within the 1990s on my own, more than 100 movies and tv series have been shot on location in New Mexico. This survey of the industry’s presence Within the state, put in combination by industry insiders, includes information on such classic made-in-New-Mexico films as The Milagro Beanfield War, Simple Rider, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. New Mexico was once the primary state to form a film commission, and its story is told here by Max Evans, whose novel The Hi Lo Country was once released as a big motion picture starring Woody Harrelson. Also included are a detailed chronology of more than 300 films set in New Mexico including key players and locations, information at the unique architecture of the state’s historic movie theaters, and a tribute to Greer Garson, New Mexico’s first lady of film.
