New Mexico is fast becoming the high-profile state for film rivalling both LA and New York for drawing major film production.

Understandably, many states are competing for production revenues but, with the recent 30% tax rebate incentive, state-of-the-art studios, film locations that could be anywhere in the world and over 300 days of sunshine, what’s not to love about this up-and-coming film mecca?

In addition, there are new post-production facilities and many other support services staffed by refugees from Hollywood. The above-the-line talent find it an easy hop to Albuquerque, being able to board a plane in the morning to be on the set after lunch. While there is a laid back quality to doing business in New Mexico, the quality of the work and workers is on a par with their competition. “The Land of Enchantment” is a wonderful relief from city congestion, expenses and stress. Ten if this can be set to stay on top some how? Good on ya Mate! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year… JR
