SE Albuquerque – Upside down, underwater, etc. whichever way you look at it, our own coveted Albuquerque Studios is experiencing some financial difficulties (this is NM, we can all relate) and is gonna climb out of the hole through the re-structuring of Chapter 11.
The re-organization should allow the studio to recover and continue to roll with productions such as the current ABC show Scoundrels, AMC’s Breaking Bad and the upcoming SKG Dreamworks horror feature Fright Night.

Breaking Bad season three is currently airing on AMC, Crash season two airs on Starz and Stargate Universe à la Nuevo México can be caught on the Syfy channel.
Note: Current cast includes NM’s Own Steven Micheal Quezada of NM’s Emmy Winning series Breaking Bad.
NM based Fire Born Films is set to begin production on their upcoming ‘Untitled’ feature film this Summer.
Check-in at the Casting Bulletin board at the New Mexico Film Office website for the lengthy list of casting roles which include types ranging from ages 8 – 60′s, male and female, various looks and experience for both lead and supporting players.
The film which is dubbed a “HORROR, FANTASY, COMEDY, SUSPENSE, THRILLER” will shoot in New Mexico, California, Pennsylvania, and Las Vegas, NV.
Federal furloughs have arrived at our beloved State Film Office which will be closed for the day mañana. So you won’t officially be able to challenge Lisa Strout or ogle Eric Witt this Good Friday.
Harry Winston Brooks is open to suggestion to save the terminal congestion that is the underfunded, over administrated, blood red APS ~budget. Tonight’s scheduled town hall meeting for the communal grasping of proverbial straws for ideas on how to fix the school district’s money woes, affecting thousands of students and educators has been canceled. Brooks is asking the community he works for to touch-type their ideas on the APS website, just in case some/one of us might bring more than a bandaid or a sweeping chopping block to the tableau.
The Duke too is announcing his economic recovery plans for the city, and is on record asking that us pilgrims, “come to the table“.
Good thing El Mahico has worked so hard to put New Hollywood New Mexico on the entertainment map, so much so that the Duke has inherited the #1 city in the country for television and film production. The entertainment industry is one of the few industries that is in the black and in fact reporting profits in these here, “tough economic times.”
Maybe a good screenwriter can pen a solid, state economic recovery plan set in the school district – Hey, the Emmy winning series Breaking Bad has wrapped season three. Get them there cast & crew on the task, pilgrim.
New Mexico production, Breaking Bad made a strong impression in its season three premiere directed by Emmy winning series star Bryan Cranston.
The AMC series premiere last night was the highest rated episode in series history, pulling-in 2 million viewers – a 40% increase over the season two average. Repeat airings boost viewing totals well over the 3 mill. mark.
“The third season of Breaking Bad got off to a great start this week…” – Entertainment Weekly
“There are elements of ‘ Breaking Bad’ that are simply unmatched on any other drama…” – TV Squad
“Awesome season premiere of…the best drama on television.” – The TV Obsessed
“A great start to one of the best shows on TV.” – iF Magazine
C-lister Donald Faison spits on the Q in some whiney remarks he made on his Twit page. Didn’t anyone teach a boy, “if you ain’t got nothin’ nice to say…”. Hasn’t bro seen all the news headlines re: These Tough Economic Times?
Criminy, if only we had a buck for every time that tired ol’ phrase was used in the past calendar year we’d be back in the black and then some. The actor should stick to the script whilst he’s still got one in hand.
Shiz, Oscar winning NM Actor Jeff Bridges pimped for Hyndai and is currently hard at work in NM on True Grit. Now that’s how you do.
We’ll go ahead and put out another “Open Call”: Stars ask plenty from the public in the way of support for their work, their industry and for personal and global causes. I’m sure a donation of Faison’s time or funds would be greatly appreciated by any number of deserving and much in need Community Service Organizations. Cast and crew of NM productions that regularly give back shine as fine examples for any and all who wish to get started on their giving way…
Faison is in town shooting the CBS television pilot The Odds.
As regularly featured here, here and here, the cast & crew of New Mexico production Breaking Bad give to the community.
Steven Michael Quezada is adding another act of service to his resume by boosting New Mexico’s own film, stage and crew talent pool. Through his partnership with YDI Quezada is lending his talent and experience to a workshop for NM youth.
The Actor’s Core Program will be holding industry workshops three days a week. To participate and/or to donate to the program contact Quezada at abqjoker@yahoo.com.
In stark contrast, AMC’s Emmy winning series Breaking Bad gives back to NM all the while they are here: fundraising, featuring local wares and literally giving their life’s blood for their work.
Starz series Crash works feeding & clothing the homeless.
Megan Fox and Shai Lebeouf even look out for our area animal friends. (So, bite it Chelsea)
Hear the controversy and feedback from McCormack herself on The Peak Morning Show today: 100.3 KPEK

We say actions speak louder than old words and we’re asking Mac & Co. to donate to JTD’s upcoming Radiothon benefitting UNM Children’s Hospital and furthermore put some time in with The Storehouse ABQ.
