JANUARY 2019 – The 2019 Sundance Film Festival is winding down this weekend and some many amazing films had the opportunity to shine over the last few days. As the Festival Host State, Utah Film Commission gave attendees who visited the Festival Co-op in Park City the chance to experience some of the iconic films and locations that make Utah a favorite destination for filmmakers and outdoor exploration.

DECEMBER 2018 – Directors Cut: With 2018 winding to an end, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on some of the year’s highlights and also send a big shout out to all of the talented people who worked in film this past year. An estimated $63 million was spent in state this year and 16 diverse productions received film incentives to shoot in Utah, including features, documentaries and television series from in-state and out-of-state producers. Consequently, over 1,300 local jobs were created and over 550 film permits were issued across the state.
