Membership Information
The growth and success of Friends of Film, Video, & Arts is determined each year by the time, energy and resources efforts of her members. Friends of Film is run entirely by members volunteering to be part of our Producers Circle, our fun and effective spin on having a "Bored" of Directors. We are a creative and cooperative bunch, so each year we focus on what is relevant for us that year, and go after it with professionalism and fun. What a combination! There are many ways you can participate in "Friends of Film" and New Mexico's growing arts industries.
