This upcoming town hall is to gather ideas and discussion around a next 5-year plan for the State of New Mexico's Film and Media industry. Please attend this Saturday 9:30a-4p at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe.
The Media Industry Strategy Project is broader than Film and Television - the council wants/needs to hear how R&D and projects in Simulation and Visualization is a strategic investment as a growing industry cluster and how it can differentiate New Mexico as a national center of excellence. David Breecker was the key author in drafting the inaugural 5-year plan for the Governor's office about 5 years ago. Check out http://www.altmedianm.org/ for more background and projects funded to date. -Steve >From Eric Whitmore: The Governor's Council on Film and Media Industries Town Hall is this coming Saturday in Santa Fe; a serious step toward the next phase of New Mexico's Media Industries Strategy.
