SANTA FE, N.M. : 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."
A pool of experienced workers has helped attract Hollywood to the state, filmmakers and TV executives say. About 9,000 people who live in New Mexico work in the industry, earning an average salary of US$56,000, according to the New Mexico Film Office. "It's growing a lot," said Horn, who is currently working on Fox drama"The Cleaning Lady". Local educational options for specialized film work has expanded, he said, and new apprenticeships have been discussed."We're pretty desperate for training," he said.
The sprawling site offers five different sets, including a 24-building town with an Old West-style saloon, blacksmith shop, train station and barn, plus free-roaming cattle.A day after the"Rust" accident, cameras were rolling to capture nighttime scenes on the ranch for another project. The site also offers film-related tours and rental options for private parties and corporate retreats.
"There is everything in place to not let this happen," said Jesse Casias, who builds sets."There is not any reason for this."
