Filming in Albuquerque
Albuquerque has become a hot spot for the film industry.
Feature film and television show production is on the rise in the Albuquerque area and throughout New Mexico. Albuquerque Studios, a 28-acre, $74 million state-of-the-art motion picture and television production facility opened in 2007 with eight sound stages and a combined total of 168,000 sq. ft. of space. New Mexico offers outstanding incentives to production companies, which has helped generate broad interest in the state for movie and television filming. Sony Pictures Imageworks also has plans to open a new facility at the Albuquerque Studios complex on the south edge of Albuquerque.
With 310 days of sunshine, its picturesque scenery and its high desert climate, Albuquerque can easily be transformed into any location in the United States, making Albuquerque a perfect destination for the film industry.
