Senator John Arthur Smith, the Chair of both the Finance & Revenue Stabilization and Tax Policy Committees, introduced SB 235 yesterday. The bill calls for a $2 million cap per project on the film incentive rebates. This would apply to all future TV/Theatrical productions shooting in the state. If passed, this would clearly injure the NM film industry.
Helping with Film & Media Day is now more important than ever. It looks like this bill will be heard on Friday, February 5 at 1:30 p.m. and we’ll be rallying the troops prior to the reading of the bill.

“Solving the New Media Mysteries” with special guest SAG National Director of New Media Mark Friedlander.
The Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners is holding one last special meeting about the proposed unionized Santa Fe Studios. If it doesn’t pass this meeting then the project in its existing form is dead.
It’s important for the New Mexico Film Industry to have a studio in Santa Fe. While we have a state-of-the-art facility in Albuquerque, we found on “Terminator” that one “franchise movie” can mean there is no room for another picture. Santa Fe Studios, with its smaller stages and lower roofs, will complement the Q facility and will benefit both cities.
