Hi everyone. My name is Jiji Hise and I live in Albuquerque, NM. In case you don’t know, we actually have quite the film industry down here and it keeps growing every year. Our local IATSE union also doesn’t restrict its members on which trades we are allowed to work in (for now). As such, I have been able to switch back and forth between HMU and Costumes. I am also a member of SAG-AFTRA, but like most actors, I still need a survival job or jobs. So, I love the fact that my survival jobs are still in the film industry.
I am currently waiting for my next gig to start. I will be the Truck Costumer for a Disney feature called Flamin’ Hot. This is my first time be hired as a Truck Costumer, even though, I have basically done the job before. Before it starts, I will be working as an additional Makeup Artist on an Amazon series for three days.
I love this industry so much, and I can’t wait to see what I get to work on next.
I just heard this yesterday about Albuquerque. All the best to you!
Congrats on your gig!
Hello Jiji Hise! Albuquerque is a quickly growing market! Netflix is especially investing a lot in making content there
I love that you work in costumes and as an actor! Sending you a DM! https://deadline.com/2020/11/netflix-billion-dollar-production-commitmen...
Hi Jiji, nice to meet you
Albuquerque is red hot and serves as just another example of how the Hollywood machine is no longer the engine it once was. Fantastic to have you here, Jiji.
