How Netflix's New Mexico Investment Affects Arizona

Netflix says it’ll open a production hub in New Mexico and buy a studio there. Overall, the streaming service plans to bring $1 billion in production to our eastern neighbor.

The state has a tax incentive for filming, and shows like "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" are shot there. So, where does that leave Arizona?

The Show spoke with Chris LaMont, a clinical assistant professor in the School of Film, Dance and Theater at ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, to learn more about it.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
