Albuquerque!
Just had a fellow AMer send me a link to an awesome documentary they made about Albuquerque. Now before you close this page and walk away, you really should watch it. They interview several people in this industry who made the jump and moved to Albuquerque to be at the still-pretty-new Sony studio down there. And it’s all shot around Albuquerque at some pretty cool spots. It’s really well done and it’s great to see a bit of the city from their view. Bravo guys!
From their site: In May of 2007, Sony Pictures Imageworks announced the opening of a satellite facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico that could take advantage of tax incentives offered by the state government.
Once in motion, employees of all tenure, and from many parts of the world, began moving to Albuquerque. Most knew absolutely nothing about the area. This is the story of the first forty employees who took the leap, and how they have come to experience the city of Albuquerque, and New Mexico.

Very cool. Makes me want to live there instead of LA or SF. Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! I recently heard about the ramp up over there, so I’m sending all my stuff to Imageworks hoping to take advantage of the opportunity.

Hey Alexis - thanks so much for posting!! I’m an AM student who has lived in LA for a long time, but I’m actually from Albuquerque and one of my dreams is to move back there one day and actually be able to have a job.
This was great to see - made me homesick and hungry for chilies!
