We are announcing our 10th annual “Spot On” Commercial Contest. For the past 10 years, the Utah Film Commission has asked the Utah filmmaking community to produce commercials that promote Utah as filming destination. The results have been outstanding.

So what do we have in store for our 10 year anniversary? Well, we are still planning that out, but we wanted to announce this year’s contest to get those creative juices flowing. The contest is open to all Utah residents and students attending school in Utah. Keep a look out on this blog and our Facebook page for updates and information. Below you will find all the details.

Produce and direct a :30 commercial spot that markets the State of Utah as a destination for film production. Contestants may submit individual spots or campaign style commercials. A panel of judges consisting of motion picture and advertising professionals, will choose the winning commercials. Winners will be awarded cash awards and/or other prizes. Winning spots will also air on Park City Television during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. This your chance to have your work viewed by filmmakers and industry decision makers from Los Angeles, New York and around the world.

Now according to the Hollywood Reporter Sluizer has finished the film and will be releasing DARK BLOOD in September:

“Sluizer will present the film for the first time at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht in September. It will compete for the festival’s Golden Calf award. The Sept. 27 premiere will be in front of a special guest audience.”

Read the full article on THR website.

The film is a psychological thriller that follows a team of detectives as they try to unravel the mystery of a crazed, on-line psycho that tracks down victims via a popular social media website.

“I’ve always loved thrillers that have you leaving the theaters thinking ‘could that actually happen?’ ‘Friend Request’ is one of those,” says Jason Falasco, producer/writer/co-director of the film.

The film will be shot entirely on-location inIdahoandUtah. Principal photography is slated to begin August 20, 2012.

More information on “Friend Request” found on their Facebook page and on their website.

Green Scare is the true story of the undercover, underage FBI informant who befriends and betrays three environmentalists in the fear drenched wave of 9/11. Green Scare explores the story of two failed idealists; Eric, who in 2006 was arrested on conspiracy charges as part of the FBI’s crack down on environmentalists known as “the green scare”, and the mysterious FBI informant known only as Anna, who seduced a trio of friends and helped orchestrate the web of conspiracy which ultimately secured their fates.

Green Scare LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, will commence principal photography in the Greater Salt Lake City area Fall 2012. Cast will mostly be local with the exception of several well-known actors out of Los Angeles. Crew will also consist of a majority of local hires. Producers Hoot Maynard and Mason Dwinell are leading the charge and the picture will be helmed by writer/director Brett Shumway.

There were glimpses of Johnny Depp as Tonto, Armie Hammer as the masked cowboy, and plenty of visual stunners — trains going off the rails, a bullet shot through the air in slo-mo, quick cuts of faces, set to a rock-style soundtrack. The reaction was immediate: Fans in Hall H traded “awesomes” with each other. (Some online commenters, however, already are describing it looking “overblown.” That might not be a surprise for a $250 million movie from Gore Verbinski, the filmmaker behind Pirates of the Caribbean.)

Disney delivered a surprise when Comic-Con attendees were treated to a sudden sneak peek at the footage from The Lone Ranger, and we caught every second of it.

The first look compiled footage from the movie that’s, amazingly, still in production. Set to a grand voiceover that muses on of a world where “time and space [is] under the mastery of man…

AIN’T IT COOL NEWS

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Wrapping up the Disney panel was a 2 ½ minute trailer/reel/fun thing for The Lone Ranger. This wasn’t announced and they didn’t even tell us what it was for, it just started rolling.

Floating over a desert we zoom into a tall mountain, through a crevasse and smack into the lightning on the road Bruckheimer Films Logo. This was about the time most of the audience was clued into what we were about to watch.

The narration went something like this: “From the time of Alexander the Great no man could travel faster than the horse who carried him. Not anymore. Imagine time and space under the mastery of man, a power that makes emperors and kings look like fools. Whoever controls this controls the future.”

The Lone Ranger is currently in production in Moab, Utah (and filmed in Monument Valley).
