Summer Hiatus for FoFVA Monthly Programs!!!
Members voted to take a summer hiatus from our monthly programs to focus on non-FoFVA film projects (and take a little R&R!). So, there will be no monthly programs in July or August. The next post-hiatus program will be September 21. In between, there's lots going on for members including a dedicated filmmaker listserv, working on shows like Director's Cut NM and being part of filmmaker organizations.
During our June 15 program, Liz Langston of 48HFP and local filmmaker Fritz Eberle will give us the scoop about how to participate in the 48 Hour Film Project and get into film festivals. Members will also update the program topic schedule for 2008, so check back here or call Ty Beh at 505.620.1889 for more info.

FoFVA Opens the Filmmaker Resource Studio!
The new Filmmaker Resource Studio is a work space for all FoFVA members. It offers a growing filmmaker resource library of books and films (contributions are always welcome!), and viewing opportunities to screen one another's completed projects and works-in-progress in an intimate setting. The Studio is located on the 2nd floor of the Harwood Art Center (map). Weekly hours are posted at the Studio.
FoFVA Participating in Filmmaker Events with UNM DCE and MISP
We're excited to be co-hosting several filmmaking events throughout the year with University of New Mexico's Department of Continuing Education (UNM DCE). Our Summer line-up is currently being developed, so stay tuned for more info!
The Media Industries Strategy Project (MISP) was formed under the Richardson administration to guide NM’s media industries development over the short, intermediate, and long-term. More than anything, MISP is a process: a way to plan cooperatively using our full range of resources state-wide. FoFVA has already participated this year in the fourth annual MISP Conference and Summit in January 2008 as part of our efforts to promote, expand and provide funding for NM filmmakers.
