Dear SAG-AFTRA New Mexico Members,
The new year has sprung! This year is already looking to be a record-breaker in terms of total production. There are at least eight feature films on the slate this spring plus new and returning TV series. And, like the past several years, New Mexico actors are being considered for recurring roles. It’s a great time to be an actor in New Mexico!

When we think of the “biz” side of showbiz, our checklist usually lists things like contracts, headshots and classes. Rarely do we think of legislation, but it is something that can have a drastic effect on our wages and opportunities.

We often get asked about residuals. Actors want to know what qualifies and also when they can expect payment. So here are a few answers:
Join Your Fellow New Mexico Union Brothers and Sisters.
Defend your rights and the rights of other hardworking New Mexicans.
Several new so-called “Right-to-Work” bills are being introduced tomorrow in the state senate. We highly encourage you to join your fellow New Mexico union brothers and sisters at the Roundhouse to let our legislators know that “Right-to-Work” is wrong for New Mexico. Bring your family and friends.
