This week on Voices of Taos, editor Geoffrey Plant talks with Jenny Natelson, founder and owner of 7K Studios, a film production studio set to be housed at the former St. Francis Catholic School in Ranchos de Taos.
Natelson and Plant discuss the role of production studios in filmmaking, why St. Francis is a good location for a studio, and what the film industry landscape looks like in New Mexico and in Taos.
Jenny talks about her decision to buy the school, her goal of bringing film production to Taos in a sustainable way, the hopes she has for the project — including the creation of jobs for locals — and the benefits that a film office would bring to Taos.
Join the Ranchos de Taos Neighborhood Association and Jenny Natelson to learn about the project on Tuesday (Aug. 19) at 5:30 p.m. at the Talpa Community Center, 4 Archuleta Rd in Ranchos de Taos. A special use permit hearing for the property is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 28.
