About the Imogene Hughes Scholarship

Santa Fe Film Institute is proud to present the Imogene Hughes Scholarship in partnership with the Hughes Family and Bonanza Creek Ranch.

Imogene Hughes created Bonanza Creek Film Locations, hosting major motion pictures and known as "The First Lady of New Mexico Film". She tirelessly championed the film industry with state legislators to produce New Mexico's economic incentives thus opening doors for more motion picture business to be produced in the state. Imogene's legacy touched many lives from near and far while finding much joy during her years working with filmmakers, both established and novice, various recording artists, and local church leaders both in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Imogene had a heart for the young and upcoming film students and as a result a scholarship fund has been set up in her honor.
