Day 12 - The Chile Film

Today is the last day of the "12 Days of New Mexican Christmas" as well as the last day to enter the #ChileChicaGiveaway. We end the series with The Chile Film A short documentary that takes us into the New Mexican chile culture and what chile means for New Mexicans.  

Food is a critical element in any culture. In New Mexico's vibrant culture, no food stands above the chile plant, which is revered for its unique taste and quality. For generations, the chile farmers of New Mexico have devoted and dedicated their lives to farming chile.

This was a short documentary film I made three years ago that has won several regional awards including a Student Regional Emmy Award! Check out the trailer below.
