New Mexico Branch

Hello from New Mexico!

Since the dawn of the film industry, New Mexico has enchanted moviemakers with cinematic treasures. New Mexico's 100 year-old traditions that date back to the days of the Tom Mix westerns are spawning continual growth and excitement with the attraction of major film studios, an exceptional incentive package, and talented SAG actors. The film industry is thriving in the Land of Enchantment and the New Mexico Branch Council is working hard for our growing membership!

William Sterchi, New Mexico Branch President

Please note that Screen Actors Guild has accepted the surrender of the Phoenix Agency’s franchise, effective immediately on July 8, 2011.
 
The effect of the surrender is as follows:
 
No member of Screen Actors Guild may hereafter engage, use or deal through this agency.
 
All contracts in force between this agency and the members of Screen Actors Guild are ipso facto and without further notice terminated except that the agency may retain and collect any commissions earned under said contracts prior to the surrender of franchise.
 
Members shall not be under any obligation to pay commissions to the agent on any moneys earned by members after the termination of the agency contracts, even though such moneys are earned by members on employment contracts in existence at the date of termination of the agency contracts.
