History of Film in New Mexico
New Mexico’s history in film extends back to the early 20th century. In 1898, the Edison Company shot a 50 second film titled “Indian Day School”, which depicted a line of Native American children following their teacher out of a school house and back in again. This was one of the first documentary-type films made in the United States, the first film made in New Mexico and one of the very first ever to be shot in the West.
Over the decades, New Mexico has become a premier production hub for many types of films and TV shows, including “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul,” “The Avengers,” “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “Lone Survivor,” “The Book of Eli,” “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” “Transformers” “No Country for Old Men” “The Night Shift” “Logan,” “The Goldfinch,” “Roswell,” “Midnight Texas,” “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,” “Sicario,” “Transcendence,” “We’re the Millers,” and many more!
