Liaison Spotlight: Emily Stovel

Sandoval County

What jurisdiction do you represent?

Sandoval County

What productions have shot in your area?

A few are: Traffic (2000, San Ysidro), Dark Games (2017, Jemez Springs), Appaloosa (2008 , Algodones), The Host (2013, Bernalillo), Fright Night (2011, Rio Rancho). Sicario (2015, Corrales) There are lots more.

How can you help filmmakers that come to your area?

I am introduced to interesting corners of the region all the time through my job with the County. Because of that I'm able to show filmmakers visually compelling areas, that covey an air of authenticity, while offering the ability to mold each environment to the needs of the production. In Sandoval County you can move from sweeping western vistas to modern urban street shots, passing log cabins and adobe haciendas, all in close proximity.

What do you consider to be a unique location in your jurisdiction?

The Valles Caldera is a magical space that conveys remote wilderness, but it is located close to support and amenities for large to small productions.

Favorite New Mexico filmed movie or tv show?

The Men who Stare at Goats (2009). I really liked the book too!
