What is Women Make Movies?

Land of Enchantment

This month, The Independent puts its spotlight on New Mexico, which has played host to filmmakers from Thomas Edison to Billy Bob Thornton.


The filmmaking industry began in New Mexico as early as 1898 when an inventor named Thomas Edison arrived in the dusty desert with his newfangled "camera" to capture flickering images of Isleta Pueblo schoolchildren for the short Indian Day School. Since then, the Land of Enchantment has been home to hundreds of productions, big and small.
