Credit Where It�s Not Due Dear Alibi , Governor Susana Martinez’s office recently put out a press release touting local film and television production’s steep revenue increase to almost $290M in fiscal year 2015. Local production generated $118.7M in 2011 but crashed to less than $83M last year. But NM film office director Nick Maniatis’s release was grossly disingenuous by glossing over the fact that the governor herself was responsible for the revenue downturn. After hobbling the industry by rolling back its gains under former Governor Richardson, then slowly tweaking that rollback, Martinez has gall taking credit for the “upturn.” There wouldn’t have been a stall-out in the first place had Martinez not played politics and nearly killed the once-thriving and community-building industry. In the early 2000s, New Mexico was at the vanguard of states enacting a film/TV tax incentive program. In the program, a production entity reported qualifying expenditures and received a 25% “refundable tax credit” after production completed. Under Martinez’s predecessor, Gov. Richardson, the Land of Enchantment’s movie and TV production slate exploded right up until Martinez took office. The success of movies from No Country for Old Men to The Avengers and amazing TV like “Breaking Bad” proved to the entertainment world that New Mexico was a production force to be reckoned with. The otherwise lethargic state economy was bolstered tremendously and a community-based sense of pride grew accordingly. All that changed when Martinez took office. In 2011, she called the rebate program “a giveaway the state can no longer afford” and dismissed it as a “subsidy to Hollywood” while waging no such trash- talk against similar oil/gas or potash tax programs. Martinez capped the program at $50M per annum in rebates, meaning one or two big productions might reap the benefits of the scaled-back program, but others would be left bereft. In March 2013, something changed and Martinez flipped the script, perhaps seeing the disastrous economic effects of her decision the prior two years. She shocked Santa Fe politicos and industry professionals alike by about-facing on her threat to veto the “Breaking Bad” law which specifically incentivized TV production in the wake of that show’s historical success, offering a 30% break under certain circumstances. She subsequently allowed for a $10M “rollover” to the $50M annual cap. Some industry professionals still groaned that, even in 2009 the state was rebating well over $80M annually. Almost $36M was lost during Martinez’s early tenure, with morale amongst production folk similarly waning. The tight-knit community here watched states like Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina explode in production revenue, using models largely based on New Mexico’s original one. The Avengers even decided not to return for their sequel. Come August of last year, Variety , a leading film industry daily trade mag, did a kitten gloves interview with Martinez, failing to connect the dots to her complicity in the downturn and Maniatis’s most recent press continues that hagiographic tendency. Whether or not she has truly seen the light, Gov. Martinez lost our already-struggling state a lot of money, money that might’ve been a thicker cushion to fall on amidst the global recession. Since 2010, 17,000 production jobs were created here; how many more might have been generated without the rollbacks? Over $500M was generated by the industry for the state economy from 2010 to 2014; and a state struggling as much as New Mexico can’t afford any less due to political guile. a Sean Cardinalli

And the truth is that someday it will happen, whether in a sudden dramatic cataclysm—an asteroid plummeting to earth, say, or a wave of solar fire washing over the planet, burning it to a blackened crisp in seconds—or by slow degrees—a choking rise in temperatures leading to war and disease; an economic collapse rendering the systems by which we live into arbitrary absurdities.

NOVEMBER 12-18 , 2015 WEEKLY ALIBI [17 ] [18 ] WEEKLY ALIBI NOVEMBER 12-18 , 2015 ARTS | FeATuRe The Proximity of Passion and Death Her Murder Ballad explores where sensuality and violence intersect

BY MAGGIE GRIMASON Four women stand on the raised stage at Tricklock Company, blindfolded, in white jumpsuits, in near darkness amid attentive silence. With a gasp, one of the actresses lurches forward, reaching for another who narrowly evades her grasp. The game continues like this as the hunter and the hunted move blindly, attuned to sound and vibration over sight. The game is called “vampire” and provides a eerie preface to the content of Her Murder Ballad , an ambitious play from the ever-experimental Tricklock troupe that confronts the viewer with a collage of disjointed narratives that offer no easy morals or meanings. “We want people to have their guts wake up and react to what they’re seeing on the stage,” said Elsa Menéndez, who directed the play along with Alex Knight, “and for that reaction to create an opportunity for reflection and thought.” The experience created in the show is one that asks the audience to dismiss the habit of following a linear story and submit Actresses Katy Houska and Hannah Kauffmann of Her Murder Ballad.

Even if things had gone off the rails, and the odd nuke popped off here and there, I think cooler heads would soon have prevailed. But that’s easy to say now .For a week in October 1962 the whole planet was wondering if Cold War antagonism was about to boil over into nuclear armageddon. Everyone knows the story: US spy-plane photos reveal Russian nuclear missile bases under torpedo.
