Summary of 2010

Albuquerque Arts Magazine
“Land Water People Time” retrieves memories
and traditions Documentary fi lmmakers celebrate distinctly New Mexican stories

Circle of Friends for Land Water People Time:
Fundraiser Screening of Land Water People Time March 23, 2010 was a great success with donated foods, space, television screen and volunteers to help bring a piece of New Mexico history, culture and stories to a supportive audience.  Fundraiser helps get Cynthia Jeannette to Santa Monica for the Latino Media Market where she met with top executives and representatives from HBO, PBS, CPB, ITVS and other great networking opportunities to pitch the film and get important feedback about marketing options.

NALIP Latino Media Market at the National NALIP Conference in Santa Monica, Ca.  April 2010.  Cynthia's attendance was a homecoming for the LPA 2009 Doc Fellows who met and networked their films at the conference.

July 2010: Pipestone Productions becomes a member of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce offering video profiles to members for the HCTV . 
Love INC and Natural Horse Sense were given discount prices as early bird business profiles.


2010 NALIP LPA invited David Lindblom, Danny Valerio and Cynthia Jeannette Gomez as the Creative Team of "Land Water People Time"  to develop their film with mentors, filmmakers, producers and marketing advisers for the ten day producers academy in August 2010. Land Water People Time is in post production with a release date for 2011.

NAPT contacted Cynthia Jeannette Gomez to notify her of an award offer for
"Without A Tribe" for Research and Development. 

Three more films completed production in 2011 include a remix of "End of the Road" in early 2010; "Breakn' Brew, Burque Blue"; "Ray Collins-Live at Low Spirits" and "Love INC"





The film LAND WATER PEOPLE TIME, is a collection of the nearly disappeared stories from Northern New Mexico's diverse cultures, traditions and heritage.  People of the northern geography of New Mexico are shaped by historical relationships to natural environments, by neighboring cultures and sustained by the waters of northern New Mexico. 

Descendants of Native Americans, New Mexican Spanish and generations of Anglo settlers-whose histories involve the strife of tribal, international and civil wars; periods of famine and abundance, intercultural raiding and peaceful effort-share knowledge and wisdom brought on by deeper understandings of the natural surroundings that shape and sustain the cultures celebrated in Northern New Mexico.
