“I’m sick of this paternalistic attitude held by the New Mexico Film Board that local talent needs to be “nurtured” and helped along like some sort of infant. We have the know-how and we have the talent, and this film festival is going to prove it.” Says Kurly Tlapoyawa, owner of Burning Paradise Video.
