SANTA FE, N.M.<\/a>\u00a0(KRQE) \u2013\u00a0The independent feature film \u201cBabybacks,\u201d produced in and around Lamy, New Mexico, has concluded filming.<\/p>\n

This suspenseful psychological thriller was brought to life thanks to a robust cast and crew. Directed by Geno Marx (\u201cDon\u2019t Look Now\u201d), produced by Marx, Tara Tovarek (\u201cKill Me Again\u201d), Derik Pritchard (\u201cLove Lies Bleeding\u201d) and executive produced by Rebecca S. Meadows (\u201cDon\u2019t Look Now\u201d) and Christine S. Freer (\u201cInvasion\u201d), the film stars Viridiana Marquez (\u201cChicago Fire\u201d), Ryan Rathbun (\u201cUnwanted True Mate\u201d), Melissa Chambers (\u201cOPUS\u201d), Peter Lucas (\u201cRay Donovan\u201d), and Ray Acevedo (\u201cA Reservation\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is a great example of how our state provides a cinematic canvas for diverse and thought-provoking narratives, while creating valuable opportunities for our homegrown talent to shine,\u201d director of the New Mexico Film Office, Steve Graham, said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Feature film \u2018Coppers\u2019 wraps in Socorro <\/a><\/p>\n

The plot follows two young lovers on a desperate journey seeking refuge with what seems like a migrant-friendly couple\u2014on the surface. What begins as a supposedly safe space transforms into a horrifying fight for survival as the sanctuary unravels into an inescapable nightmare of both psychological and physical horror.<\/p>\n

The production employed approximately 50 New Mexico crew members and about 35 local principal and background talent, further boosting the local film community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to work on my first major production in New Mexico, a socially conscious TV pilot titled \u2018Don\u2019t Look Now,\u2019 which proudly featured more than a dozen blind and low-vision actors,\u201d\u00a0director Geno Marx\u00a0stated. \u201cThe outpouring of support from the local cast, crew, and the wider New Mexico film community was truly inspiring. As I began developing my next project, a suspense thriller film with a predominantly Hispanic cast that once again delves into often-overlooked societal themes, it was clear to me that New Mexico was the place to bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
