WASHINGTON: The dusty desert landscapes of New Mexico have provided the perfect backdrop for Hollywood Westerns, but the state also has served as a filming location for everything from drug-dealing drama “Breaking Bad” to sci-fi mystery “Stranger Things.”
\nNew Mexico\u2019s role in the television and film business came into the limelight last week when cinematographer Harina Hutchins was shot deadly on a Western set filmed at Bonanza Creek Ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Actor Alec Baldwin has been fired.
\nRust is just one of many projects filmed in the state and has become Hollywood\u2019s leading hub by offering producers a generous 25% to 35% refund tax credit. NBC Universal of Netflix Inc and Comcast Corp have set up a production studio in Albuquerque.
\nA pool of experienced workers helped attract Hollywood to the state, says filmmakers and television executives. According to the New Mexico Film Office, about 9,000 people in New Mexico work in the industry, with an average salary of $ 56,000.
\nSet decorator Bill Horn, who has worked on the Paramount Pictures projects at Netflix, Sony Corp and Viacom CBS Inc, has witnessed expansion in recent years.
\nWhen he joined the Local 480 Branch of the International Alliance of Theatrical Film and Theater Trade Unions (IATSE) more than 10 years ago, it had less than 600 members. Currently, he said it has more than 1,500 members.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s growing big,\u201d said Horn, who is currently working on the Fox drama \u201cThe Cleaning Lady.\u201d He said local educational options for professional film productions expanded and new apprenticeships were discussed. \u201cWe are pretty desperate for training,\u201d he said.
\nOther projects underway in the state include the Netflix series \u201cTrigger Warning\u201d and \u201cDead Forderer,\u201d starring Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, and Rachel Brosnahan. According to state statistics, 48 films and television shows were produced in New Mexico in September.
\nSpending on film and television production reached a record $ 623 million in the state from July 2020 to July 2021, the Films Division said. Some politicians are dissatisfied with offering tax cuts to Hollywood companies.
\nThe camera keeps rolling
\nBonanza Creek Ranch, where the filming of \u201cRust\u201d was interrupted, has been used as a Hollywood stage for decades since Jimmy Stewart\u2019s \u201cThe Man from Laramie\u201d in 1955 and \u201cButch Cassidy and Sundance Kid\u201d in 1968. I have come.
\nThe vast grounds have five different sets, including an old western-style salon, a blacksmith, a station, 24 towns with barns, and free-walking cows.
\nRecent works included last year\u2019s Tom Hanks movie \u201cThis Vague\u201d.
\nThe day after the \u201crust\u201d accident, the camera was spinning to shoot a night scene on the ranch for another project. The site also offers movie-related tours and rental options for private parties and corporate retreats.
\nBesides the ranch, there are many sound stages in the area. Netflix operates one of the largest after AMC Networks acquired Albuquerque Studios, which filmed \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d in 2018. Two years later, Streaming Giant announced that it would expand the facility and promised to spend $ 1 billion on production in the state.
\nSince the \u201crust\u201d tragedy, the media has reported dissatisfaction with the working conditions of the set. People involved in other projects in New Mexico said the set always adhered to strict safety and security protocols and was stunned about how the shootings took place.
\n\u201cWe have everything in place to prevent this from happening. There is no reason for this,\u201d said Jesse Cassias, who makes the set.
\nActor Jon Hamm, who is filming in nearby Belem, said he and his \u201cMad Men\u201d co-star John Slattery attended the alert \u201cto support our community.\u201d I did. Slutary, who directs the new film, said his crew members were close friends with Hutchins.
\nOthers said they felt lost, even though they were not directly related to Hutchins. \u201cIt\u2019s a sad day for everyone,\u201d said Set Decorator Horn.
