Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},
🦈 Alright Las Cruces — we’ve got a locally shot shark movie getting the royal treatment at the Rio Grande Theatre.
Can you believe a shark movie was actually filmed in Las Cruces?
Film Las Cruces is throwing a special screening of “Shark Thrash” at the Rio Grande Theatre and bringing that B-movie chaos downtown where it belongs.
Local crew. Local spots. Zero ocean required.
Whether you’re a film nerd, a shark movie degenerate, or just love seeing what our neighbors are cooking up, this one’s got that perfect mix of local pride and ridiculous fun.
Grab your people and come help pack the theatre — local film nights hit different when the whole room knows the locations on screen. Free Admission More Info
