Filming in New Mexico

SANTA FE, NM - The New Mexico Film Office announced today the feature film, Rust, produced by Rust Movie Productions LLC, is currently in production. Filming will take place in October and early November 2021 in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Rust is the story of a 13-year-old boy, left to fend for himself and his younger brother following the death of their parents in 1880's Kansas, goes on the run with his long estranged grandfather after he's sentenced to hanging for the accidental killing of a local rancher.

“We can do all genres of film here in New Mexico, but historically, and presently, a standout genre for our state is westerns. From animal wrangling and weapon handling to western movie ranches to authentic desert landscapes, New Mexico offers the ultimate wish list for the Western genre, and you can’t find more beautiful light and sunsets” said Amber Dodson, Director, New Mexico Film Office.

“We are thrilled to see some returning faces to the Land of Enchantment and welcome the team behind Rust to our state.”

Rust is directed by Joel Souza (Crown Vic, Break Night, Christmas Trade, Ghost Squad) and produced by Alec Baldwin (Dr. Death, Crown Vic), Ryan Smith (Supercell, Bandit), Anjul Nigam (Crown Vic, Supercell), Ryan Winterstern (Titanic, Watchmen), Nathan Klingher (One Way, Supercell), and Matt DelPiano (All Night Long, Dr. Death).

Principal cast includes Alec Baldwin (The Departed, It’s Complicated, Supercell, Dr. Death), Travis Fimmel (Raised by Wolves, Warcraft, Vikings, The Baytown Outlaws), Frances Fisher (Titanic, Unforgiven, The Sinner), and Brady Noon (Good Boys, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers).

“We are excited to be working in the beautiful state of New Mexico. We could not have asked for a better backdrop for this movie,” said Producer, Ryan Smith.

The production will employ approximately 75 New Mexico crew members, 22 New Mexico principal actors, and 230 New Mexico background talent.
