I'm headed to Frisco to meet with my fellow Planet X thinker and creator. We will be talking to the New York Times about some of our ideas. Last night, I released a press announcement regarding what is going on in our beloved Land of Enchantment. I totally stand by it.

STATEMENT FROM FILMMAKER CHRISTOPHER COPPOLA, FOUNDER OF EARS XXI:

"The incident that occurred at the House Taxation and Revenue Committee last Friday is unfortunate and in my opinion was absolutely unnecessary. All of those involved in the film industry in New Mexico want to see more people getting jobs, and for all to benefit from production activity in the state. We hope and expect that those involved will accept responsibility for their actions and the hurt they have caused as a result."

"I believe that we can all have differing opinions on activities that have and will continue to be debated without causing road-blocks to the process of filmmaking, which is critical to the economy of the state."
