THE ALBUQUERQUE FILM OFFICE COMPLETES A RECORD WEEK FOR PROCESSING FILM PERMITS. THE CITY'S FILM LIAISON, ANN LERNER, TELLS 770 KKOB THAT FIVE LARGE PRODUCTIONS ARE EXPECTED TO COME TO SHOOT IN THE DUKE CITY, WHICH INCREASED PERMIT REQUESTS. LERNER SAYS 23 PERCENT WERE PROCESSED OF A LAST WEEK. SHE SAYS IT'S UNKNOWN HOW MANY CHANGES MAY HAVE OCCURRED WITH THOSE PERMITS SINCE THEN.
BUT THE 23 PERMITS ARE DOUBLE WHAT'S USUALLY SEEN IN A TYPICAL WEEK. TWO T-V SERIES WILL BE BASED IN ALBUQUERQUE. ONE FROM SONY AND THE OTHER FROM A-B-C. THE FILMS "LA VIDA ROBOT" STARRING JAMIE LEE CURTIS AND GEORGE LOPEZ … AND "BIG SKY" STARRING KYRA SEDGWICK, WILL ALSO SHOOT IN AND AROUND ALBUQUERQUE IN THE COMING MONTHS.
