The New Mexico Film Office Announces Feature Film “Olmo” Wraps Production in New Mexico
Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Amber Dodson announced today that the feature film “Olmo” wrapped filming in and around Las Cruces in November.

"We are very excited to have ‘Olmo’ filmed in Las Cruces. The film showcases our diverse, amazing locations and the rich culture within our community,” Las Cruces Film Liaison Andrew Jara stated.
The production employed over 100 New Mexicans – approximately 80 as background talent, 40 resident crew members, and 12 principal actors.
