This week on Voices of Taos, join Editor John Miller as he talks with Rick Romancito, former Tempo editor, fine artist and former actor.

Romancito tells stories of his career as a young actor starring alongside John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn in  "Rooster Cogburn," as well as both the glamour and difficulties of making it as an actor.

Miller discusses the recent growth of the industry in New Mexico, and Romancito shares 
how New Mexico's diverse topography makes for a "one-stop shop" for production companies. A film office in Taos, he says, would be a natural fit.

Miller and Romancito discuss artificial intelligence's impact on the industry, as well as
Romancito's process for reviewing movies for Tempo.

This episode is part one of a series exploring the film industry in New Mexico.
