In addition to the region’s Santa Fe Studios, Camel Rock Studios, and Aspect Media Village, nearby movie ranches feature numerous large Western town sets, homestead sets, and Spanish forts that have hosted hundreds of movies. Camel Rock Studios, the country’s first Indigenous-owned production facility and film studio has access to 17,000 acres of open land on the Tesuque Pueblo and is most recently notable for its hosting of AMC’s Dark Winds.
