Los Ranchos de Albuquerque Film Ban Meeting

A message from Jon Hendry, Business Agent for IATSE Local 480:

The village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque is holding a meeting at 7pm Tuesday Sept 9th to discuss a continued ban on filming in the village. Obviously it’s important that as many of us attend the meeting as possible to thank the village for their past support of the film industry and to work with them to come up with a sensible policy that would address our concerns and the concerns of the local residents.

The meeting is at the village hall which is just north of Chavez on Rio Grande Blvd. Those of you who may want to speak please arrive a few minutes early to sign up for a three minute slot. Remember, well dressed and articulate with a positive message has worked for us before, even if you are not planning to address to board.
