ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® is tapping into the expertise of New Mexico’s film industry to bring images of the Mass Ascensions and the Albuquerque Box to local, national and international programs and networks. The Media Arts Collaborative (MAC), Central New Mexico Community College and the Studio at WESST are working with the Balloon Fiesta’s media relations team to provide a clean feed of the weekend mass ascensions for over the air and cable networks.
The MAC (https://themacnm.com) and CNM will provide professional guidance to New Mexico film/video students to provide on the job experience of sharing the weekend mass ascensions occurring during the 53rd ExxonMobil Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
