New Mexico Film Office announces feature film “Radon’s Daughters” filming in New Mexico

Santa Fe, N.M. - The New Mexico Film Office announced today that the feature film, “Radon’s Daughters,” is filming in and around Jemez Springs, Lamy, and Santa Fe County through November.

"Radon’s Daughters” is directed by Siena Sofia Bergt (“OPIA”) and produced by Alexandra Renzo (“Selah and the Spades”), Jenn Garcia (“Frybread Face and Me”), Kerry Myers (“The Agency”), Ariel Lopez (“Solstice”), Tara Tovarek (“Dead for a Dollar”), and Emma Steiger “(Wait to Tell Mother”). It stars Gracie Gillam (“Fright Night”), Jonathan Medina (“Primo”), Morningstar Angeline (“Rez Ball”), and Jasper Keen (“Outer Range”).

“Radon's Daughters” is the first feature shot in New Mexico, with an entirely femme-led crew. Not only is the writer/director, Siena Sofia Bergt, a born and raised Santa Fean, but the film itself is steeped in New Mexican culture, history, and storytelling. The film is set in a New Mexico church scarred by uranium when a Dia de los Muertos celebration becomes a collision point for two families, where past secrets and present dangers intertwine.

“This film is a love letter to New Mexico, the people and places I grew up with, and how we tell stories,” Bergt stated. “I couldn't be prouder to bring it to life with such a talented crew of Southwestern women and femmes. Being able to make this film in this groundbreaking way is something I genuinely believe could only happen in New Mexico.”

New Mexico's film industry continues to surge, shattering the $1 billion mark in total economic impact for 2024. Total economic impact includes direct production spending within the state, wages earned by cast and crew members, and indirect spending on hotels, restaurants, and countless other New Mexico businesses that support and benefit from the film industry.

The production is employing over 30 New Mexicans, including 15 crew members, 8 resident principal actors, and 10 background talents.
