This sort of answers it for New Mexico (and WM):
We are in a market down here that's mostly nonunion. We've been getting some bigger movies in here, like with Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis and Dolph Lundgren, who are kind of half union, half not. It's the way they work out their contracts and stuff. But yeah, so everything's at a grinding halt with anything with union contracts.
And you don't want to cross the picket lines while they're holding out and doing the strike and non-union people should be helpful in that sense too, because the non-union people will someday probably be union people. So everybody wants to help out. But we here in Southern New Mexico have always been pretty much a non-union market. A lot of independent films, a lot of people that are doing their own things--the colleges, young filmmakers--they're making their movies. And they can continue to make their movies. Those are their projects. As long as they're not dealing with companies and producers that fall under the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, they're fine. I can continue with my own personal projects. Most of my own personal projects are lower budget, micro budget, and hence nonunion. We can't afford it. So we try to treat people fairly, and that's kind of what this has all come down to, is being fair and keeping the integrity of this business alive and well for everybody on both sides.
