NEW MEXICO LOVES BRINGING MOVIE CREWS TO THE STATE … BUT ONE ALBUQUERQUE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS NOT THRILLED WHEN A FILM CREW KEPT THEM FROM LEAVING OR ARRIVING HOME. THEY ALL LIVE NEAR DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE … AND AS LORENA RAMIREZ CASTILLO TELLS KOB TV, THE FILMING SITUATION DISTURBED THEIR DAILY ROUTINE.
ROADS WERE CLOSED FOR FILMING, SO SHE SAID SHE HAD TO DRIVE EXTRA FAR TO GET HOME. FILM CREWS DO HAVE TO FOLLOW CERTAIN GUIDELINES SO THESE SITUATIONS DON’T OCCUR. FOR ONE, THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO LET RESIDENTS KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHEN CREWS WILL BE IN AN AREA.
ALBUQUERQUE’S FILM OFFICE DOES WORK WITH PRODUCTION COMPANIES TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON NEIGHBORHOODS. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CALL 311.
