Announces the Feature Film Knight

is Currently Filming in New Mexico

SANTA FE, NM - The New Mexico Film Office announced today the feature film Knight, produced by Knight The Film LLC, is currently in production.

Filming will take place from late October through early November 2021 in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Knight is the story of a seasoned cop who foils a robbery and must save his daughter in the process.

“Las Cruces is quickly becoming a location of choice because of the stunning locations, and supportive film office, but most importantly, because of the ability for productions to take full advantage of the competitive film incentive that New Mexico offers by shooting in an uplift zone,” Amber Dodson, director, New Mexico Film Office, said.

"We're thrilled to welcome Knight to Las Cruces. It will showcase some great Las Cruces locations and employ a large number of crew and background actors," Las Cruces Film Liaison Jon Sepp said.

Knight is directed by Ed Drake (Broil) and produced by Corey Large (Broil, In Like Flynn).

“The team of Knight is very excited about filming in New Mexico,” Drake said.

“We heard great things about crew and talent in New Mexico and of course the tax credit helped make it an easy decision to move the production here from Georgia."

The production will employ approximately 50 New Mexico crew members, 10 New Mexico principal actors, and 200 New Mexico background talent.
