WIF panel on Tuesday night 1/31

WIF panel on Tuesday night 1/31:

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 find financing. 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 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 Steakhouse 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.
