Chapter one: an introduction to the story of Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Narrated by John Pen La Farge
Starring:
Carmella Padilla
Rob Martinez
Ana Pacheco
Michael Naranjo
Gia Vigil
Eli Levin
Ana Rosa Padilla
Jerry West
Shot and edited by Kyle Maier of Kamio Media.
Soundtrack by Colin Diles of Visceral View Entertainment.
Written by Kyle Maier and Martin Schultz.
Co-produced by Jesse Littlebird.
Much of the historical imagery from 1880-1950 is courtesy of the Fenyes-Curtin-Paloheimo collection at the Acequia Madre House in Santa Fe. This material was likely shot by Eva Scott Fenyes or her daughter Leonora Curtin. The historic photographs seen at the very end are also courtesy of this collection (except the one with the car, that was taken by Douglas Magnus in the early 70’s).
All of the vintage 8mm film and many of the still photographs from 1968-1990, including the footage of Tommy Macaione, were shot by Douglas Magnus and are courtesy of the artist.
Additional images that came from outside these two sources include:
The Japanese Internment camp, courtesy of the US Department of Justice.
Cristo Rey Church, courtesy of Wikipedia, taken by Fred Mang, Jr., U.S. National Park Service.
Tommy Macaione and Hal West, courtesy of “Come With Me”, a small booklet published by Ewen Enterprises in 1961.
Esquire Magazine, 1981.
National Geographic Magazine, 1982.
Matias Rivera, as featured in The New Mexican in 1984. Courtesy of Ana Rosa Padilla and her family.
“Canyon Road’s Roots Run Deep”, Santa Fe Reporter article from 1990, written by Carmella Padilla, with photographs by Wendy Walsh. Courtesy of the author.
The filmmaker would like to extend the utmost gratitude to everyone featured in this film, as well as everyone who helped behind the scenes along the way. There is 5 years of filming and research in this short little film, and many people helped educate me about this infinitely complicated story.
This chapter was made possible with the support of the Eugene V and Clare E Thaw Charitable Trust and the Acequia Madre House.
This chapter was made in collaboration with the Historic Santa Fe Foundation and the Women’s International Study Center.

Beautiful! You found just the right people and photographs that could tell the story. Excellent choice for the narrator of John Pen La Farge.

This is really great, all the interviews were people I know and respect. Everything said so spot on. The photos were astounding. Great job editing to make it flow so perfectly.

Thanks for this good background. I regret not having more time to explore Canyon Road when I lived off Acequia Madre in early 1992, then in ABQ. But it's El Farol next weekend, before brining my friend to the Opera!

What a great job, Kyle! A truly professional film and very interesting. Not being from New Mexico, nor familiar with the history I learned a lot! In 25 years you can probably take a trip to Mongolia and make a similar film, for better or worse!

In my opinion, the difference is that nowadays we have a sophisticated economy that provides a social safety net. This decreases and mitigates the violence and all the horrific atrocities associated with it. I recall from an economics course that the factors of production are land, capital, and labor. It's always about the economy and the allocation of the resources it produces. Back then (500 years ago), survival was crucial and a priority, that led to a different mindset. It was more like survival of the fittest. The historians and authors being interviewed added credibility to the educational objectives of the documentary. And it was easy to follow. Espero ver mas documentales históricos igúal a este. ¡Muchisimas gracias!
