The New Mexico Film Office Announces Feature Film “I’ll Be Gone in June” Set to Begin Production in New Mexico

Santa Fe, NM - New Mexico Film Office Director Amber Dodson announced today that the feature film “I’ll Be Gone in June” is filming in and around Las Cruces in March.

“I’ll Be Gone in June” is directed by Katharina Rivilis (“Triangle of Sadness”) and produced by Léa Germain (“Paris Texas”).

The film follows Franny, a 16-year-old exchange student from Germany, who sets out to the US in 2001 in search of freedom and the American Dream. Instead of settling in the metropolitan areas of New York or California, she ends up in a small town in New Mexico. In the endless desert, Franny, the “alien,” meets military host families, bored teenagers, strange characters of all kinds, and a soul mate - the melancholic Elliott, who, despite his young age, seems to have failed in life before he even crossed the threshold of adulthood. There is little time left for the two of them until Franny leaves again.

“We’re so excited to see this European co-production coming to Las Cruces and their story come to life,” stated Keagan Karnes with Inspirado TV.

The production is set to employ over 50 New Mexicans, including 25 resident crew members, 22 resident principal actors, and 10 resident background talent.
