Seminar to offer tips on working with film industry
FilmSavage.com, a Web site that lists film industry-related services and film news, will hold a series of three classes in Albuquerque for companies looking to get involved in the industry.
The classes will cover all aspects of working with film production companies and how to access the millions of dollars they spend each year in New Mexico.
The first session, on Feb. 23, will cover the nuts and bolts of the film business. The second day, Feb. 24, will dig deeper into issues, such as the different departments that make up a film or television production, questions to ask and how to ensure you get paid.
More than 40 films and television productions filmed in New Mexico in 2008. Productions spent $241.8 million in the state’s fiscal year 2008, which ended June 30, and are projected to spend an estimated $106 million in the first six months of 2009 payday loans with low fees.
Gwyn Savage, who launched FilmSavage.com, has worked with the film industry for seven years in New Mexico as a casting director and business owner servicing the industry. She has more than 20 years of experience in business consulting, development, management and marketing.
The first two sessions run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce offices, 115 Gold Ave. SW. The third day will be scheduled after the first two days and will focus on targeted strategies for specific businesses.
The cost is $50 and space is limited. For more information, visit the Film Savage Web site or call (505) 331-0177.
