Rust' was denied a portion of New Mexico's film & TV tax incentives, despite the fact that it was made at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.

Tax authorities denied an application this spring by Rust Movie Productions for incentives worth as much as $1.6 million.

Producers of the western movie "Rust" may have to forgo a robust economic incentive as they try to sell the film to distributors and fulfill financial obligations to the immediate family of a cinematographer who was fatally shot by Alec Baldwin during rehearsal in 2021.
