Filmed at the historic Doña Ana County Courthouse, the project employed over 25 NMSU students, turning the set into a real-world training ground. Marks, who runs the Las Cruces International Film Festival and teaches at NMSU, is helping build a sustainable film industry in Southern New Mexico — one that’s now attracting major productions and pumping millions into the local economy. “Solitary” wrapped in August, is in editing, and aims for a 2027 theatrical release and festival submission — part of a growing wave of 12+ films shot in the region thanks to Marks’ vision.
