The Katharsis Media Crew Incentive Program is designed to foster the professional growth of emerging film professionals by placing them on set within specialized craft roles. Each apprentice is already trained and listed on the Overflow list for their specific craft, prepared to advance their skills on-set. This program not only equips apprentices with valuable industry experience but also offers productions financial incentives for integrating these skilled workers, thereby enriching the entire New Mexico film industry.
