New Mexico is proud to be recognized by the industry as one of the premier places in the world to film and live. We are home to a skilled and diverse workforce, world-class facilities and support businesses, the most breathtaking and versatile locations, and responsible and dependable incentives. More than 110 major film and television productions have been shot in New Mexico, including recent blockbusters, Terminator Salvation, Gamer, Book of Eli, No Country for Old Men, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. New films this year include Iron Man 2, Knockout, MacGruber, True Grit, and Thor. Television productions include Breaking Bad, In Plain Sight and the upcoming Scoundrels. The productions have generated more than $2 billion in economic activity. And there’s more . . .

Sony Pictures Imageworks (http://www NULL.imageworks NULL.com/) has a division of their animation department in ABQ.
