Netflix’s “End of the Road” directed by Millicent Shelton, is an action-packed crime thriller that follows Brenda, her two children, and her brother Reggie as they decide to embark on a cross-country road trip together. However, their journey turns into a highway to hell when they witness a murder in a neighboring motel room.
After witnessing a crime and taking drug money for safekeeping, Brenda and her family are pursued by a mysterious killer who ends up kidnapping her son. Now she must fight to keep herself and her family alive against an anonymous killer.
The crime film features stellar performances from some of the hottest names in Hollywood, including Ludacris, Queen Latifah, Jesse Luken, Beau Bridges, and Frances Lee McCain. While the action-packed sequences throughout the film will keep the audience on edge, the scenic and semi-arid landscape in the background makes one wonder where End of the Road was filmed.
Where Was End of the Road Movie Filmed?
“End of the Road” is being filmed entirely in New Mexico and California, specifically in the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area, Santa Fe County, and Los Angeles.
Principal photography, directed by Millicent Shelton, began in June 2021 under strict Covid-19 regulations and ended in August of that year. Now let’s take a look at all the specific locations that appear in the action movie!
New Mexico
Most of the “End of the Road” was acquired in the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area in central New Mexico. The production unit ostensibly traveled across the area to record various sequences against suitable backgrounds, mainly on the road.
Several key sequences for the film were also filmed in Moriarty, a city in Torrance County, New Mexico, which is part of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area.

In late June 2021, the team was camped next to Historic Route 66 in Moriarty when an unexpected dust storm temporarily halted filming. In addition, Belen, the second most populous city in Valencia County, and Algodones, a census-designated place in Sandoval County, served as prominent production locations for the film.

Several parts of “End of the Road” were recorded in Santa Fe County, New Mexico’s third most populous county. It is home to parts of some national conservation areas, including the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail, the Pecos National Historic Park, and the Santa Fe National Forest.
Over the years, Santa Fe County has hosted the cast and crew of many movies and TV shows, such as “No Country for Old Men,” “Brothers,” “Roswell, New Mexico,” and “Longmire.”
California
To conclude the production process, the ‘End of the Road’ crew traveled to Los Angeles, a large city in Southern California, and shot some additional sequences.
