Summit to focus on music, film industry

SANTA FE (AP) - New Mexico's annual Music in Film Summit will take place later this month at the Lensic Theatre in Santa Fe.

Gov. Bill Richardson made the announcement Wednesday. He says the Sept. 24 event will be an opportunity for the state's musicians to learn about the music in film business from industry leaders, including those who have worked on major motion picture soundtracks such as "Avatar," ''Walk the Line" and "Moulin Rouge."

The Recording Academy's west regional director, Lizzy Moore, and Paramount Pictures' president of music, Randy Spendlove, will be among the summit's panelists.
