Welcome New Member - Santa Fe Soul

August 11, 2008 · No Comments


With 28 practitioners of traditional and allopathic medicine on staff, Santa Fe Soul is a unique and powerful health and wellness resource in Santa Fe– and we’re thrilled to have them on board crewnewmexico.com.

Santa Fe Soul is a single location with many healers under one roof. They’ve joined crewnewmexico.com because they know a lot of visiting professionals in the New Mexico Film Industry have left their favorite doctors, healers, massage therapists back home, and they offer a very wide array of wellness options for long or short term clients, with some of the top holistic practitioners in New Mexico. Here’s a just a sampling of what they do - all at a convenient, beautiful location in Santa Fe: acupuncture, reflexology, chiropractic, psychology, counseling, massage, iridology, biofeedback, Trager therapy, couples counseling, qi gong, and are also affiliated with MDs and holistic dentists in Santa Fe. Of course, they’re also very well known with Santa Fe locals. We’ve received treatments here and can only speak highly of the quality and professionalism of the practitioners.

They’ve also got the beautiful Sun Room, which hosts frequent workshops and healing classes - and its also available as a meeting/conference space. Have a look at their crewnewmexico.com page here, and also their website at www.santafesoul.com. Check their calendar of events for upcoming workshops and lectures!

August 5, 2008 · No Comments

crewnewmexico.com would like to announce that Val Kilmer’s Pecos River Ranch is opening its doors as a pre-production retreat and training facility. With its 6,000 acres and miles of riverfront, horses and stables, exclusive housing and proximity to Santa Fe, the Ranch is an excellent location for cast to come and train, relax, study and prepare for a shoot. Talent can come alone, and the Ranch can arrange for all services such as trainers, chefs, and assistants, or you’re welcome to bring your crew. There is housing for up to 12 people in 4 different units. The accommodations are riverfront, secluded, and beautiful places to rest and relax.

The Ranch is a wide-open expanse of New Mexico, offering privacy, tranquility, and all the resources you’d need to prepare for a shoot - western or not, shooting in New Mexico or not. There’s a gym, miles of hiking, stables, and all is just 22 miles from the arts and culture of Santa Fe, and 1.5 hours from Albuquerque.

And since the Ranch is also a filming location, its also an excellent place for above-the-line crew to come during pre-production, and for housing during the shoot as well.

We’re thrilled to be a part of this new adventure!

crewnewmexico.com would like to give a special welcome to Val Kilmer and his Pecos River Ranch as a New Mexico Film Location on crewnewmexico.com’s New Mexico Location Database!

The Pecos River Ranch is a 6,000 acre expanse of classic New Mexico high desert/mountain terrain, with over 6 miles of Pecos River frontage winding through the property.

There’s forests of pinon and juniper and oak, and fields of wildflowers in season. Wildlife includes bear, deer, elk, coyote, wild turkeys, cougars, and a host of birds of prey. There are barns, stables, and corrals, and plenty of space for production animals to stay during filming.

There are also several entrances to the property to allow for production vehicles of all sizes. They offer production housing on the property for cast, producers and directors, and are a pre-production training facility (we’ll write more about that in another post). The Ranch is available for still/advertising shoots, commercials, and feature film production. It’s a simply amazing piece of land, and film location.
