Dark Winds is a series that must be made in New Mexico – and we welcome the production and AMC to our state with open arms,” Amber Dodson, Director, New Mexico Film Office, said.

Shooting will take place at "various locations around Santa Fe, Española, Pueblo of Cochiti, Pueblo of Tesuque, and the Navajo Nation." I'm especially glad to hear about shooting taking place within native communities.
