STRIKE OFF; FILMS TO MOVE AHEAD

The Screen Actors Guild and the producers union agreed on a new contract finally. For NM, this should mean several new films starting here. We knew there were several in the wings but everything was on hold. Both the ABQ and NM Film Offices report that more scouts are scouting, so to speak. Hey you scouts......"Call me. We'll do lunch."

ABQ ranks High!

US News and World Report has ranked ABQ in its top ten most liveable cities with Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine ranking it as the second best city. Both of these considered the economy, weather, natural beauty and recreational and work opportunities. ABQ is HOT!
