The decision by one of Hollywood's major studios to establish a new facility in Albuquerque is the latest indication of New Mexico's rapidly expanding film industry. Once the building is completed, an estimated 300 Sony Pictures Imageworks employees will move to Albuquerque from Los Angeles. Sony Pictures Imageworks has also recently welcomed University of New Mexico as a new member in its Imageworks Professional Academic Excellence program in an effort to nurture young talent.
