Listen to local knowledge.
People who live and work in a place know what an outside production cannot learn from a photograph. We want to begin with those conversations and understand local needs, capacity, and constraints.
CALIFORNIA & NEW MEXICO
Home is a
point of view.
And a place to build what comes next.

Rooted in Farmington.
Looking outward.
We want more stories to begin here—and more of the work behind them to happen here.
Shawn-Caulin Young’s Farmington roots shape the Company’s point of view. Blue Cowboy Pictures is developing original film and television with the ambition of bringing production activity and creative opportunity to the Four Corners and New Mexico as a whole.
That means thinking about people alongside projects: local crew, actors, vendors, small businesses, locations, and the next generation of storytellers. It means building relationships early and making specific, practical plans as each project develops.
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
A shared commitment
to New Mexico.
We are working in partnership with San Juan County, Film New Mexico, and the City of Farmington to help build film and television opportunity in the Four Corners and across the state.
HOW WE WANT TO BUILDSTORY TO SCREEN. PERSON TO PERSON.
Connect the work.
Our aim is to link industry experience with regional talent and services. As projects become viable, we intend to explore local hiring, sourcing, and collaboration opportunities suited to each production.
Invest in the craft.
Acting courses and mentorship are part of our broader artist-development work. We want to help people strengthen their process and build the skills to participate in professional storytelling.
Explore the training practiceRespect the place.
Every community and location has its own history, authority, and boundaries. We approach access, representation, and production arrangements through direct conversations and the appropriate permissions.
PRODUCTION SUPPORT / NEW MEXICOLOCAL KNOWLEDGE. PRACTICAL PLANNING.
A partner on the ground
Bring the story.
Build the local plan.
We can help productions explore New Mexico’s people, places, and incentive requirements from the early planning stage.
Discuss your productionTalent & crew connections
Explore introductions to creative collaborators, talent representatives, and local casting professionals, matched to the production’s needs and each person’s availability.
Locations & local services
Identify location possibilities and regional vendors, and help frame conversations about access, logistics, and community coordination. Each location requires its own permissions and agreements.
Incentive eligibility planning
Help organize the local production plan and questions for qualified New Mexico production accountants, tax advisers, and the Film Office. Early attention to the filing entity, planned spending, project registration, and documentation can support a clearer eligibility review.
New Mexico’s Film Office requires projects to be funded and greenlit before registration. Eligibility, qualifying expenditure, and any credit remain subject to the applicable rules and state review. Working with the Company alone does not qualify a production or guarantee an incentive. The Company does not provide tax or legal advice.
