El Raton Media Works

El Raton Media Works Arts2Work workforce development & career opportunity hub serving Colfax County and surrounding areas.

Our vision is to bring film, television and emerging media projects to northern New Mexico to invigorate the local economy and create a wide-range of community and workforce development opportunities through partnerships, collaborations and investments with local and regional businesses and educational institutions. Filmmaking and television production requires building entire worlds. Fully realiz

ing these visions requires not just production crew like cinematographers, directors, actors and scriptwriters, but it also needs a complete economy of workers such as electricians, carpenters, welders, plumbers, chefs, tailors, painters, and mechanics. We believe the development of learning and media production facilities will provide educational resources and workforce development opportunities to the community to grow the regional economy in a myriad of ways including increasing demand for local businesses, youth and adult career pathway education and job opportunities.

This is an amazing opportunity to get free hands on experience with film professionals at the Netflix studios in Albuquerque! Sign up today!

Ready to break into film and TV production?

This isn’t a classroom lecture. It’s a hands-on, three-day training inside Netflix Studios in Albuquerque, built for people who are serious about getting on set.

You’ll work directly with lighting gear, grip trucks, and DMX systems. You’ll learn safety, setup, and troubleshooting. And most importantly, you’ll walk away with the skills productions are looking for.

If you want to join a crew as a Day Player or full-fledged lighting tech in New Mexico, this is where you start!

Spots are limited, apply today: https://tr.ee/T4goXxGIHq
