New Mexico’s brave new world of film and TV — courtesy of you!

New Mexico Independent: "Unless you’ve been living under a rock without cable or satellite TV — or without any news in any form — you probably know that the Land of Enchantment is now Hollywood on the Rio Grande.
I would say we’re “Tamalewood,” but there are those who object to making light of the state’s new, glamorous industry and, of course, the ethnic connotations that particular description conveys."

:: waves the "I'm from New Mexico!!" flag ::

I had the wonderful experience of sitting in a movie and saying to the person next to me "That was filmed in New Mexico! So was that! I live about ten blocks from there!" until she turned to me and told me to be quiet.

What's really interesting is the synthesis between the technology being developed in NM (such as the ARTSlab, Intel, and dome anamation) and the new movies coming in. I know the technology they used in The Spirit was so cutting edge you had to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to get in.
