From New Mexico to Tribeca.
Congratulations to the team behind "The Long Haul" on its world premiere at the 2026 Tribeca Festival on June 7 in New York City. We're excited to see this New Mexico-filmed project make its debut and connect with audiences on one of the industry's biggest stages.
Originally filmed under the name “Dead Letters,” the production filmed in Las Cruces and Ruidoso in March 2025, the film stars three-time Emmy-winner Margo Martindale, Stephen Root, Cole Sprouse, Yalitza Aparicio, Jefferson White and Wes Studi.
“The Long Haul” is an intimate portrait of an American long-haul truck driver who is forced to confront her past, present, and future as she faces the potential parole of her daughter’s murderer. The production employed over 100 New Mexicans, including 65 resident New Mexico crew members, three principal actors, and 80 background talent.
Wishing the entire team a successful festival run.
