New Mexico Film Incentives

You've probably heard about the New Mexico Film Incentive program, which is a critical part of why movies are being made in New Mexico. The New Mexico Film Office is the official source of information about the film incentives, but crewnewmexico.com is also happy to offer a primer about the program, so you can understand a bit more about why movies are being made here, and how you and your production can take advantage of the wealth of film-related resources offered in New Mexico. If you have any specific questions, or would like more information about the incentive program, please contact the New Mexico Film Office.

Why are movies being made in New Mexico?

Movies are being made in New Mexico in large part due a series of financial incentives designed to lure out of state productions. In addition, many productions choose New Mexico over other states offering similar incentives because of the large variety of landscapes within the state of New Mexico that can double for locations throughout the world. New Mexico also has a large (and growing) and highly skilled film workforce and the physical and technical infrastructure (such as Albuquerque Studios) necessary to film major motion pictures.

What is an incentive?

An incentive is something that encourages enterprising by acting as a reward for increased productivity. The New Mexico Film Incentive program, run by the New Mexico Film Office, offers a series of tax rebates, loans, exemptions, and reimbursements in an attempt to increase productivity within the state.

New Mexico Film Incentive 25% Tax Rebate

For the full amount of all production expenditures, the state of New Mexico offers an uncapped 25% refund. Should a production meet all the standard qualification and requirements laid forth by the State of New Mexico -- including script/treatment approval, location acknowledgment, and entering into a contract with the New Mexico Film Office -- they can be greenlit to begin production within the state

Once a project has reached this stage both the "Film Production Company Registration" as well as the "Production Tax Credit Agreement" forms need to be completed and returned to the New Mexico Film Office before production can begin.

During production a detailed record of all expenditures needs to be accounted for along with legally binding evidence that all crew member claiming New Mexico residency are in fact residents of the state (copies should be made of each employees "Declaration of Residency" form). Once all New Mexico expenditures are complete, a comprehensive ledger detailing all expenses needs to be compiled as well as a notice explaining the need to file creditor claims against the film production company published in local newspapers of all locations where filming has taken place. There is also a list of ten pieces of information, an application for a film production tax credit form, and a compilation documents that need to be sent to the New Mexico Film Office at this point. All this information can be found at the link below.

After an approximate 60-day audit process the production company will return the forms at which point income taxes and Film Production Tax Credit Claim forms need to be filed. Credit will be applied to any tax liability with excess refunded by check.

A series of guidelines dictates the final outcome of the New Mexico Film Production Tax Rebate. These can be found at the end of 25% Film Production Tax Rebate link and should be photocopied and distributed to all department heads.

New Mexico Film Investment Loan Program

For projects with a minimum budget of at least $2 million the state of New Mexico offers a backend participation loan of up to $15 million per project. This loan has 0% percent interest and is able to embody 100% of the project. Consideration for the loan must be preceded by a guarantor being in place, script meeting state eligibility standards, distribution contract, and agreement that at least 85% of the photography will be shot within the State of New Mexico. This loan can be applied for simultaneously with the 25% Tax Rebate.

A series of steps must be completed in order for loan approval to take place. A complete and in-depth description of these steps can be found on the Film Investment Loan Program link below however a general overview is listed below.

  • Both the "Film Production Company Registration" and "Production Tax Credit Agreement" forms must be completed early in the application process (all forms can be found at nmfilm.com under "incentives").
  • Script must be submitted to the New Mexico Film Office for consideration of eligibility requirements and viability of project for New Mexico.
  • Preliminary production schedule and budget must also be submitted.
  • Signed distribution agreement must be in place (independent films with no upfront distribution commitments will still be considered and are advised to read step seven of the Film Investment Loan program in detail).
  • A State of New Mexico Film Advisor will write a recommendation to be presented at two mandatory attendance meetings in Santa Fe. After distribution approval the film advisor will need 16 pieces of information that can be found under step eight of the link below. For questions please see filmadvisor@state.nm.us
  • After submitting a list of requirements to New Mexico Film Office Director Lisa Strout, the film advisor will schedule a hearing with the state where he/she will represent and describe your project to in the presence of Strout, State Investment Council Greg Kulka, and the producer and/or director of said project. Council members will approve/dissaprove the loan in your presence. If approved you will attend a similar process at the SIC hearing two weeks thereafter. Plan on 5 to 8 weeks of negotiation and preparation of the final loan documents should the project meet approval at the second SIC hearing. Funds are typically available two to three days after the loan closing. Negotiation and preparation by the SIC will require a series of diligence materials that can also be viewed under step nine of the link below.

New Mexico Film Incentives - No State Sales Tax

Although the plan is non eligible in combination with the 25% tax rebate, by filling out the "Film Production Company Registration", "Application for Business Tax Identification Number", and "Application for Nontaxable Transaction Certificates" your production may become eligible for exemption from all sales tax within the state of New Mexico. A certificate will be issued to your organization to be presented at the point of sale in order to employ your exemption.

Santa Fe Studios Gets the Green Light


For those following the growth of the New Mexico Film Industry, you'll be pleased to know that Santa Fe Studios has received the green light from the Santa Fe County Commission -- one of the (if not final) legislative humps to overcome on their path to building a major motion picture studio in Santa Fe. Santa Fe Studios would be built south of Santa Fe on Highway 14, feature up to 10 sound stages, pre and post production facilities, and commercial space for supporting businesses.

Albuquerque Studios is booked to capacity, and the addition of world-class studio space to the New Mexico film industry arsenal would serve to solidify New Mexico as a primary film destination.

crewnewmexico.com got a chance to speak to the County Commissioners to address a common concern: how will all this film work trickle down the the average local person. We explained that now there is a resource (us) dedicated to connecting individuals and businesses to the film industry, and that in just a few short weeks we have grown to nearly 40 members. We're happy to help to facilitate the growth of the industry in ways that support the local economy. And we also work to ensure that visiting productions have all the resources they need to maximize the value of our incentive programs.

Congratulations to the Hool family: Lance Hool, Conrad Hool, and Jason Hool on another positive step towards making Santa Fe Studios a reality.

Welcome Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch



If you've been working in film in New Mexico for more than, say, a day, you've probably heard about the famous Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. Located just 8 miles south of Santa Fe, Bonanza Creek is one of the premeire locations in the New Mexico film industry. Bonanza is a working cattle ranch with old west standing sets that have hosted productions from National Geographic photo workshops to major motion pictures, including the Lone Ranger (a long time ago), and the upcoming Ed Harris film, Appaloosa (starring Ed Harris, Renee Zelwegger, Jeremy Irons, and Viggo Mortensen), and even the currently filming Sex and Lies in Las Vegas, starring Mena Suvari and Matthew Modine. It was also the setting for the reality show Kid Nation

The several thousand acre ranch offers many different types of landscapes -- open pasture, dry riverbeds, a pond, volcanic cones, and several standing sets, including a full old west town, a fort, a church, an old west house, a saloon, barns, windmills. . . Its amazing!
