Coyote Confidential: A Taos New Mexico Blog

Wednesday afternoon I received a phone call from the State of New Mexico Governor's Council on Film & Media Industries. “Mystery’s Night,” my submission to the 2008 Governor’s Cup Animation Competition and the National Geographic All Roads Film Project for short animated films, is one of 10 finalists. I am scheduled to do a final presentation next Wednesday, May 21, at the NM Film offices in Santa Fe. I have fifteen minutes to convince them that my project deserves the $10,000.00 prize. The prize money will enable the winner to complete their film with monetary support for equipment and other peripherals, with distribution by the state and National Geographic.

Next week I am scheduled to shoot my first scenes in the film “Descansos” on Tuesday . . . and then the next day I present “Mystery’s Night.”

Thanks to all of you for your support and friendship. I will be writing about these events in next week’s posts.
