“For the fourth year in a row, the editors of MovieMaker Magazine named Santa Fe the No. 1 small city or town in North America on its list of best places to live and work as a moviemaker. The city also topped the list in 2023, 2024 and 2025.”
According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, “The rankings are based on production activity, the strength of an area’s film incentives, cost of living and access to a sophisticated workforce.”
