<P> When writing the script for Dead Man 's Burden , Moshe wrote with the intent to cast the film with lesser known actors , as he did n't want `` to bring in a big - name actor who did n't look like they belong in that period . '' Moshe did not use storyboards , as the film had a tight budget and could n't afford a storyboard artist , instead watching other Western films for inspiration and working closely with cinematographer Robert Hauer . Filming took place in New Mexico over an 18 - day period , where the cast experienced freak storms that forced the cast to walk to the set but did not delay filming . </P>
