New Mexico Film Office Newsletter

A note from Todd Christensen, Film Office Director:

To the New Mexico Entertainment Community,

Thank you for welcoming me into my new position as the New Mexico Film Office Director, the outpouring of support in my first weeks in this office has reiterated to me what an amazing community we have here in New Mexico. As we stand on the edge of SB2 being enacted on July 1 ^st, I’ve already seen the wave of television and film projects coming and I am confident in our community to show the world what we have to offer here in New Mexico—from the amazing people working directly on productions to the hospitality of our vendors and residents to the natural beauty of our state, we are poised to usher in a new era of prosperity and production in New Mexico. I could not be more excited and honored to be able to continue to share New Mexico with the rest of the world when they see our beautiful state on their screens.

If there is anything I can do to help any of you in our community, my door is always open.

Sincerely,

Todd Christensen

Director, New Mexico Film Office
