The Future of Film & Digital Media (7/21)

Hi everyone -- I hope you're all enjoying the summer!

I think the jury's still out on the full effects of changes to New Mexico's film incentive programs, but the concerted efforts of many groups and key stakeholders this past session delivered a strong message that not only are we vocal, but we can also work together.  The voice of the business community - both businesses working directly in media and those whose revenues are more than significantly impacted by our industry - has never been more important.

That business (and investment) discussion is the focus of the Coronado Ventures Forum's annual film and digital media event -- and now features incoming NM Film Office Director, Nick Maniatis. I hope you'll consider attending!
