What the Production Is Looking For


The production team needs a vehicle that looks like a typical armored truck used for transporting cash or valuables. This means the truck should have the following characteristics:


  • Appearance: The vehicle should resemble well-known armored trucks such as Brinks, Loomis, or Garda. This includes the shape, size, and general design cues that make it instantly recognizable as a secure cash transport vehicle.

  • Condition: The exterior must be in good condition. A clean, professional look is preferred to maintain authenticity on camera.

  • Functionality: Both functional and non-functional vehicles are accepted. Whether the truck can be driven or is stationary will depend on the scene requirements.

  • Owner Availability: The owner or operator must be available on set for supervision if needed during filming.


This combination ensures the vehicle fits seamlessly into the story while meeting practical production needs.


Shoot Location and Schedule


The filming will take place in Tucumcari during the first week of December. This means the vehicle and its owner must be available during this time frame. The exact dates will be coordinated with the selected vehicle owners to ensure smooth scheduling.


Compensation Details


The production offers flexible compensation options based on the vehicle’s condition, usage, and availability. This may include:


  • Monetary payment

  • In-kind compensation (such as services or goods)

  • Credit in the film’s production notes or credits


Rates are negotiable, so owners are encouraged to submit their vehicles and discuss terms with the production team.


How to Submit Your Vehicle


If you believe your armored truck fits the requirements, submitting your vehicle for consideration is straightforward. Send the following information to FilmTucumcari@gmail.com:


  • Photos of the vehicle from multiple angles: front, sides, rear, and interior if possible

  • Owner’s name and contact information

  • Availability during the shoot window (first week of December)

  • Any relevant details about the vehicle, such as whether it can be driven, if it has logos, or other distinguishing features
