Talk about a potential national incentive at the state鈥檚 film and media conference in Albuquerque last week prompted attendees to ask how New Mexico can stay ahead.

FilmUSA President Katie Pryor said countries like Ireland and Canada also have programs that help fund their own productions and that New Mexico could benefit from creating something similar, especially with a federal incentive taking some pressure off the states.

Steve Graham, New Mexico Film Office director, said that the Governor鈥檚 Council on Film and Media Industries has formed a task force ahead of next year鈥檚 60-day legislative session to discuss possible changes to the state incentive and the idea of creating a film loan fund.

鈥淭he idea is to set aside $150 million that is available at market or below market interest rates for filmmakers to borrow money to make movies in New Mexico. And it鈥檚 designed to have more beneficial rates for New Mexico filmmakers,鈥� Graham said.

Pryor said New Mexico is 鈥減erfectly positioned to 鈥� take center stage when this passes federally,鈥� citing its history of being the first to create a state film commission and an incentive that offers lower costs for productions that film in the state through a refundable base tax credit of 25% and uplifts for filming in rural areas.

She said another way to stay ahead is by staying on top of workforce development. During the conference, Netflix officials touted the free training programs they鈥檝e launched in partnership with organizations like Central New Mexico Community College, IATSE 480 and the Stagecoach Foundation, and local film unions shared that they also offer free training programs to their members.

Netflix鈥檚 Creative Talent Engagement and Development Program Manager Cherie Harris said that real-time crew gaps are largely what influence Netflix鈥檚 decisions regarding workforce development.

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to continue to listen to the data (and) fill the gaps because that鈥檚 how we are going to convert jobs,鈥� Harris said. 鈥淚f you overload a pipeline too much with something because everyone鈥檚 trying to chase it, then those opportunities kind of block up.鈥�

Harris also praised CNM, the state and city for partnering to build the $73 million facility where the On Set in New Mexico conference took place and where the community college will work to train the next generation of New Mexico鈥檚 media workforce.

鈥淭o me, they are tapping into what we should be doing,鈥� Harris said.

Artificial intelligence was also a recurring topic throughout On Set in New Mexico: Film and Media Conference, with many speakers, including Netflix production official Mike Posey, saying they view it as a tool that is not going away and must be understood while maintaining human creativity.

鈥淚鈥檓 really excited about how we as an industry are going to use it to our advantage, to make productions more sustainable (and) tell even better stories,鈥� Posey said, adding that he thinks it can be used in pre-production to help people realize their visions quicker and in post-production to create affordable visual effects.

Graham, who moderated a discussion with Posey, said the word 鈥渟ustainable鈥� immediately made him think 鈥渟maller crews.鈥� But Posey said while the technology may 鈥渇ine-tune different jobs鈥� and change how different departments operate, he hopes it could also create new jobs.

Graham also asked Posey about Netflix鈥檚 decision to discontinue 鈥淭he Boroughs,鈥� a recently released series filmed in New Mexico.

鈥淲e wish every show went on forever. We gain so much efficiency when we keep these shows going season after season,鈥� Posey said. 鈥淏ut (our team) 鈥� they have to evaluate each season and how that should perform relative to what it costs. They鈥檝e got to look at what else is coming down the development pipeline, and they have to make hard choices at times.鈥�

鈥淪o unfortunately, that show, it just didn鈥檛 hit their threshold,鈥� Posey continued. He said the show 鈥渓ooks amazing鈥� and that Netflix 鈥渓ooks forward to the next shows鈥� it brings to New Mexico.

While creative and financial factors often play a large role in influencing where the streamer decides to take its productions, Posey said New Mexico is 鈥渁lways at the top of our list鈥� of places to consider and that the company is 鈥渃ommitted to finding multiple shows that can come here.鈥�

Several speakers throughout the conference encouraged attendees to use the wait period and downtime to hone their craft and continue creating films, even if it鈥檚 on their phone.

Albuquerque film producer Renee Pezzotta said the conference was validating.

鈥淭here is a slowdown 鈥� but there鈥檚 a lot of optimism,鈥� she said, adding that she is already taking panelists鈥� advice by attending CNM and making short films as much as possible. 鈥淵ou just got to do it, and I heard that echoed a lot here over the last two days.鈥�

Rio Rancho camera operator Chris Taylor agreed.

鈥淚鈥檓 not giving up on the industry until it gives up on me,鈥� he said.
