FILM CREW ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM - FCAP

New Mexico offers a 50% reimbursement of wages for on-the-job training of New Mexico residents in advanced below-the-line crew positions. New Mexican Supervisors and Keys have the opportunity to hire and mentor qualifying NM crew in advanced positions for this program.

For example: if a New Mexican Key Grip is hired, the Key Grip may mentor a New Mexican Best Boy Grip who has less than two film/TV credits as a Best Boy Grip prior to being hired on the production. The Best Boy Grip in this example would qualify for the 50% reimbursement of hourly wages for as many hours the Best Boy Grip has available in the program (up to 1040). For more details regarding this program, contact the New Mexico Film Office upon opening production offices in New Mexico.
