The City of Santa Fe, SantaFe.com, and Hutton Broadcasting, are proud to announce the launch of the NM Homegrown Media project, a collaborative effort designed to assist the growth and promotion of locally produced film and media. It kicks off with a screening of award-winning New Mexico-made films at The Screen on Saturday, June 11.

The pre-show party will take place from 6-7 pm in Studio One next to The Screen, then winning films from the NM State Film Office Filmmakers Showcase will show from 7-10 pm. The event is sponsored by The Santa Fe University of Art and Design and Albertsons. Admission is free and food and beverages will be provided.

Both the City of Santa Fe's Channel 28 and SantaFe.com will air award-winning New Mexico-made film and media from mid-June onwards. Student material from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and the Santa Fe Community College may also be showcased.

The City of Santa Fe’s Economic Development Division has worked with Lucy River from Leadership Santa Fe, Scott Matthews from Hutton Broadcasting, the New Mexico Film Office and the new SantaFe.com in order to create the NM Homegrown Media effort. A fund for locally based or locally originating media has been established through the Santa Fe Chamber Opportunities Fund and grants will be awarded to filmmakers by New Mexico Homegrown Media through a competitive application process.

Those interested in donating to the fund should contact Lucy River at 505.216.1626.
