Panel of New Mexico Legislators:  New Mexico Filmmakersʼ Bill
NMWIF presents an impressive panel of New Mexico Legislators and top industry producers who will address an issue that concerns us all- FUNDING OUR PROJECTS!

So many of us simply donʼt know where or how to access funds for our own projects. To this point, weʼve been frustrated with elusive and inaccessible funding- having to turn to friends, family and even our own pockets for help!
Our guest producers will give insight into how theyʼve successfully managed to fund their own films!

Our guest legislators will address the The New Mexico Filmmakersʼ Bill, which creates accessible money for all of us to use, whether youʼre making a feature, short, TV show or Web Series.

Join us as Jon Hendry invites us to his private VIP Legislatorsʼ Lounge at the Rio Chama Restaurant for a night of education and empowerment. This piece of legislation was created specifically for us, New Mexico filmmakers, to fund our dreams. Come be a part of its success, so it can be a part of yours.

Esteemed Panelists Include:
• Senator Tim Keller
• Representative Brian Egoff
• Representative Al Park
• Representative Sue Wilson Beffort
• Alicia J. Keyes, Producer “Blaze You Out”
• Peter Touche, Producer "Blaze You Out" ...with more to be added!

New Mexico Women in Film
Joins Race for the Cure

New Mexico Women in Film is a New Mexico-based non-profit outreach organization committed to the professional development and achievement of women in the film and television industry through mentorship, networking, education and community service.

This year, we’re partnering with the NM branch of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (http://www.komencnm.org/), honoring members of our industry who have struggled with breast cancer.

We have reached out to the larger NM film and media community to join our efforts to demonstrate the vibrancy of our industry and its commitment to our community. The response has been enthusiastic.

In our commitment to mentor upcoming filmmakers, we intend to create a promotional film project to benefit the NM Komen Foundation. The film will consist of several vignettes, produced by industry professional mentors and NMWIF member mentees (men can join, too).

We’re also proud to announce that we’re fielding a team to participate in NM’s Race for the Cure. Team members can run, walk, volunteer or even sleep in for the Cure. Our goal is to field a team of at least 50 members and raise $5000, 75% of which will stay in New Mexico (with the remaining 25% going to cancer research).
