In this episode of Good Job, New Mexico, hosts Stacy Johnston, Leonardo Castaneda, and Raquel Gomez talk with filmmaker and Director Mykel Salazar, whose path to the film industry took shape in an unexpected way.
On her way to becoming a lawyer, Mykel moved back home when her father became ill. During that time, she began exploring a different creative outlet — filmmaking. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a career. From working behind the scenes to stepping in as a stunt double, and later taking on the role of Assistant Director, Mykel has embraced a wide range of roles in film production.
Her story is one of resilience, adaptability, and finding purpose in the places you least expect. Tune in to hear how she navigated the transition, built her skillset from the ground up, and found her voice in New Mexico’s growing film industry.
