The Governor's Film and Media Industry Town Hall this Saturday

[Stephen Guerin]

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.
