Max Walker-Silverman’s new film, “Rebuilding,” is set in the San Luis Valley. It was also shot in the San Luis Valley.
That might not sound like a big deal, but when New Mexico is offering up to 40 percent in refundable tax credits, it’s hard to justify shooting something in Southern Colorado that could just as easily be shot south of the state line.
“I'm so on the fringes of ‘the biz,’ if I can even call it that,” 32-year-old director Walker-Silverman joked, “but I think as much as possible, movies should be shot where they take place. And this movie took place in Colorado, and I'm really grateful to work with producers and financiers who were willing to support that.”
