FILM LAS CRUCES
The staff of Film Las Cruces is on the ground working in the southern New Mexico town.
The office helps productions find local vendors, crew and cast so that they can take full advantage of up to a 40% film incentive. The incentive is a big plus for Las Cruces and all rural areas that are 60 miles outside of Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Film Las Cruces benefits from quality infrastructure, which includes permitting, experienced vendors, film schools and locations.
The film office has had a production every single month, either pre-production or actual shooting in the last year. In 2025, it had nine features, two network series, one vertical series and three high-profile shorts.
