New Mexico Film Grants Open Now | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s film scene is heating up with two major grants from the Santa Fe Film Institute—applications close July 20. The Regional Grant offers up to $50K for filmmakers in NM, AZ, OK, CO, and TX, with NM shorts getting $15K and features $25K. The Los Luceros Grant, tied to the historic site in Rio Arriba, Santa Fe, or Taos counties, gives up to $10K for projects shot there. You can apply for both, but only once per person. With the industry cooling nationwide, local leaders like Jacques Paisner see New Mexico’s potential—and are pushing for more training and infrastructure to land big-budget projects. Get your crew ready: these grants are your ticket to making movies right here at home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
