SHOW ME THE MONEY. THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO IS DOING WHEN IT COMES TO THE FILM INDUSTRY. STARTING IN JULY, THE TAX INCENTIVE PLAN INCREASES, ALLOWING FOR MORE PROJECTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE REBATES OFFERED FOR FILMS SHOT HERE USING LOCAL PRODUCTION TALENT.
THE INCREASE WAS PASSED DURING THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. DON GRAY IS THE LOCATION COORDINATOR FOR THE NEW MEXICO FILM OFFICE. HE SAYS INTEREST HAS SURGED NOW, SO THEY ANTICIPATE MORE BUSINESS IN THE PIPELINE.
GRAY SAYS, ALONG WITH SEASONED-CREW MEMBERS, OUT OF TOWN PRODUCERS CAN ALSO RELY ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS ALBUQUERQUE STUDIOS AND SANTA FE STUDIOS.
