Additionally, the summit provides ample networking opportunities for attendees to connect with industry professionals, crew members, and potential collaborators.

Stated the NMFO’s Deputy Director, Carrie Wells, “The Film and Television Summit is an invaluable platform for fostering connections and knowledge sharing within our thriving film community. We’re excited to provide a space for aspiring and established professionals to learn, network, and explore the exciting possibilities within the New Mexico film industry.”
