Creative Director

I really appreciated the hospitality and accommodations of this location and their staff. For film and photography projects, this location has it all. You get the vastness of the desert for desertscape vibes, giant towering mountains, epic foreground shots and an assortment of really cool sets to truly create a different world for your projects. Best part it's all within walking distance of each other. I can see why this location is one I frequently see pop up on film inspiration sites 10/10
