SANTA FE FILM OFFICE
The Santa Fe Film Office (SFFO), led by Regional Film Commissioner Jennifer LaBar-Tapia and Film Coordinator Andrew Griego, serves as a locally focused, relationship driven resource that supports productions from first inquiry through wrap. As a city/county partnership, the office specializes in on-the-ground facilitation — helping productions navigate locations, permitting, community connections, crew referrals, and real time problem solving.
The office collaborates with surrounding municipalities, counties, pueblos and rural areas to ensure productions have access to diverse locations, strong community partnerships, and a seamless experience throughout northern New Mexico. This regional coordination strengthens the overall production ecosystem and ensures that economic impact is shared across the broader area.
In 2025, SFFO assisted 54 productions, ranging from large episodic series and feature films to independent projects, documentaries, music videos, and commercials, reflecting the breadth and strength of production activity supported throughout the Santa Fe region.
The office works closely with regional film education programs including the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe Community College, and New Mexico School for the Arts, while also supporting industry partners such as Stagecoach Foundation, New Mexico Film Foundation, and the Santa Fe International Film Festival.
