From Crazy Heart to Oppenheimer and beyond, let film industry veteran and northern New Mexico expert Jason Strykowski guide you through the City Different to discover locations from treasured films and cultural highlights. Demons, detectives, cowboys, hippies, lawmen, and Asgardian gods have all visited Santa Fe, New Mexico. The City Different also hosts similarly colorful townsfolk, artists, culture makers, and trendsetters. A Film Lover's Guide to Santa Fe situates all these larger-than-life characters onto a figurative map that depicts both Santa Fe's fictional life in filmmaking and its real life as the heart of southwestern arts and culture. Follow Hollywood insider and film historian Jason Strykowski to iconic film locations walkable from the Santa Fe Plaza, including Evangelo's Cocktail Lounge in Crazy Heart and the Bataan Memorial Building, as seen in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Strykowski's guide to famous film sights provides adventurers with deeper insights into Santa Fe's social tapestry through film and filmmaking, cultural and natural history, architecture, and the arts. A Film Lover's Guide to Santa Fe also includes short driving detours to Bonanza Creek Ranch, the Audubon Center, Bandelier National Monument, and Meow Wolf, all of which have appeared on the big screen!
Jason Strykowski has worked on more than a dozen major film and television sets as a script coordinator and an assistant to producers and actors. He also spent years as a tour guide in Northern New Mexico. His articles have appeared in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Edible New Mexico, Santa Fean, wired.com, Comic Book Resources, and New Mexico Magazine. He is the author of A Guide to New Mexico Film Locations: From Billy the Kid to Breaking Bad and Beyond.
"The perfect guide to cinematic Santa Fe, Strykowski's walking tours combine film history, the city's arts and architecture, and gentle exercise for locals and visitors alike." - Aimee Macpherson, author of A Guide to the Bars and Restaurants of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
