Movies shot in Cerrillos

The dirt streets and buildings of First and Main are the most popular locations for filming. In the spring of 1988 construction started for the feature film Young Guns. It took 3 weeks to build sets for town scenes. Forty five town residents were hired as extra's, painters & carpenters. Many were invited to the Santa Fe premier and Mary Mora was escorted to the gala in a limousine.  

Mary's Bar was the place to hide in John Carpenter's Vampires and portions of Convoy were shot along Hwy 14, between Madrid and Garden of the Gods.  Made for TV "Sparks" filmed in the Simoni Building and at the Casa Grande Trading Post. The trading post was also used for an AT&T commercial with Santa Domingo member Leo Coriz even though they didn't have a telephone hook up at the time. Another commercial filmed at the trading post supplied cases of salsa as a promotion.

Scenes for The Hitcher, Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden and The Edge were done on CR 57 west of town. Scenes for the Longmire pilot were filmed in Cerrillos and dust raised from the dirt streets is now infamous. In 2012, the school house property and San Marcos arroyo were used for the film We're the Millers.
