Book Presentation:
From Crazy Heart to Oppenheimer and beyond, let film industry veteran and northern New Mexico expert Jason Strykowski guide you through the City Different to discover locations from treasured films and cultural highlights.
Demons, detectives, cowboys, hippies, lawmen, and Asgardian gods have all visited Santa Fe, New Mexico. The City Different also hosts similarly colorful townsfolk, artists, culture makers, and trendsetters. A Film Lover’s Guide to Santa Fe situates all these larger-than-life characters onto a figurative map that depicts both Santa Fe’s fictional life in filmmaking and its real life as the heart of southwestern arts and culture.
Follow Hollywood insider and film historian Jason Strykowski to iconic film locations walkable from the Santa Fe Plaza, including Evangelo’s Cocktail Lounge in Crazy Heart and the Bataan Memorial Building, as seen in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Strykowski’s guide to famous film sights provides adventurers with deeper insights into Santa Fe’s social tapestry through film and filmmaking, cultural and natural history, architecture, and the arts. A Film Lover’s Guide to Santa Fe also includes short driving detours to Bonanza Creek Ranch, the Audubon Center, Bandelier National Monument, and Meow Wolf, all of which have appeared on the big screen!
