Hate Train

Production Announcement

TV series “Hate Train” begins production in New Mexico
Series leverages state's competitive tax incentives

The television series, “Hate Train,” will begin principal photography this next month in Albuquerque and Farmington, adding to a growing portfolio of long-term television projects that have chosen the Land of Enchantment as their home.

“Hate Train” leverages two available state tax incentives — an additional 5% for TV series and a 10% rural uplift for filming in Farmington.

"New Mexico continues to be a sought-after home for television series, and projects like this show why,” said Steve Graham, director of the New Mexico Film Office. "The state's competitive tax incentive is a powerful tool designed to attract and support multi-season productions and prove our commitment to a stable, long-term home for diverse storytelling."

Directed by Larry Layfield and produced by LaTonja Sutton, "Hate Train" is a powerful series that follows a railroad union executive grappling with a deeply ingrained racist ideology. The narrative explores his journey as he confronts his prejudices and must ultimately decide whether to remain steadfast in his views or embrace profound personal change.

“Action brings change,” noted Sutton.

This timely story examines themes of societal evolution and the potential for transformation within a challenging historical context, while also showcasing the state’s incredible locations and talent.

The production will employ over 50 New Mexico residents, including 12 resident crew members, seven principal actors, and 38 background talent.
