Industrial Strength Support for the New Mexico Film Industry
There are many factors that help productions decide where they're going to film, and industry supporting infrastructure is one of them. In addition to our attractive incentive program, New Mexico has industrial strength vendors who know the ins and outs of working in Hollywood.
New Mexico Lighting and Grip is one such company.
Opening its doors at Albuquerque Studios in 2007, New Mexico Lighting & Grip Company offers a keystone inventory of lighting and grip equipment and serves major motion pictures, independent features, television and commercial productions in New Mexico, and nationwide. Their credits include In Plain Sight (season 1 and, soon, Season 3) Breaking Bad (season 1-3), The Spirit, The Game, Cirque du Freak, The Betterman, The Resident, Paul, Book of Eli, Terminator 4, and The Spy Next Door.
Their 25,000 sq ft warehouse is stocked with HMI, Incandescent, Kino Flo ®, Dimming, Moving Lights, generators and LED Lighting. For grips, the company carries a full range of digital blue and green screens, steel deck and green bed scaffold systems. NMLGC is also the local representative of Airstar Balloon Lighting.
"It is great to be partnered with Albuquerque Studios and part of the growing New Mexico filmmaking community," said Sean Buckler, rental manager for New Mexico Lighting & Grip Company. "We offer the full range of equipment from complete packages to supplemental packages for independent gaffers and key grips."
In 2008, NMLGC opened New Mexico's first Expendables Store which carries gels, globes, electrical, tape, tools, camera supplies, hardware, lumber, paint/paint supplies, textiles, office/kitchen supplies, apparel.
