ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – New Mexico is at the front and center of the film industry next

The event runs March 8-9 at Hotel Chaco, tickets and registration is required.
Some of the attendees will also enjoy tours of location spots throughout Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Representatives from Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe will be on hand to
explain the benefits of filmmaking in New Mexico.
One session is titled, “New Mexico: World-Class Crew Base Largest Between the Coasts” another on “New Mexico Film Locations: Diverse. Accessible, Fresh.”
“The fact that Deadline has chosen New Mexico for its first-ever Hot Spot networking conference is a big recognition of everything Gov.
