‘Furthest Witness’ begins filming in ABQ
Production will employ about 105 New Mexicans
The weather is getting cooler, but the New Mexico film industry remains hot.
The Duke City will host the state’s latest production, “Furthest Witness.”
According to the New Mexico Film Office, the production is currently shooting and will take place through the beginning of October.
“Furthest Witness” is the story of Kyle Braddock who has spent the last decade moving witnesses over the border to Mexico and has always avoided confrontation or suspicion until now.
Not only has he been framed for kidnapping but there’s a malevolent and unrelenting figure on his trail and he is falling in love with his latest passenger, who has a dark secret that completely goes against all of his moral beliefs.
Now he must protect the first person he has cared about in over 10 years, discover who he is as a man and outrun a mysterious killer who is more akin to a force of nature with an ever increasing path of human collateral in his wake.
Production will employ approximately 45 New Mexico crew members, 30 New Mexico principal actors and 30 New Mexico background talent, the film office stated.
The film stars Aaron Stanford as Braddock, Sean Patrick Flanery as The Florist and Teri Reeves as Helena.
New Mexico actors Forrest Fyre, Steven Michael Quezada, Vincent McDaniel and Jermaine Washington are co-starring.
The film is being produced by Elevated Pictures.
It is written and directed by Adam Del Guidice and produced by Rick Benattar and Nigel Thomas of Benattar/Thomas Productions, and Ben Richards.
“We welcome ‘Furthest Witness’ to Albuquerque for their filming,” said Mayor Richard J. Berry. “The film industry continues to be a strong economic impact to our city, providing high paying and creative jobs to our citizens.”
