Welcome to the first edition of The
New Mexico Movie News by crewnewmexico.com!
This publication is an extension of our company - a resource that helps productions and filmmakers find all the goods and services they need for their shoot, and to keep New Mexico film pros, film supporting businesses and residents up to date in what's happening in their backyard.
It's also a great way to deliver information on resources available as you consider shooting in New Mexico, are already on the ground in production or if you're looking to network with other film-supporting entities.
We'd like to welcome Elixir Studios to ABQ - the newest addition to the NM film family. Three thousand square feet of studio space, just north of downtown Albuquerque. A great resource and destination for projects big and small. Check 'em out!
In just over a year, crewnewmexico.com has grown to nearly 500 individuals and businesses that play either a key or supporting role in the NM film biz. It's our honor to play a part in such a dynamic and exciting industry.
Contact us if we can assist your production in any way, or if you're a business or individual interested in increasing your visibility in a competitive market. We bridge the gap between the industry and the people who make it tick.
We look forward to hearing from you.
