Utah Film Commission Sponsors the Utah Film Festival

We are happy to announce the Utah Film Commission has become an official sponsor of the Utah Film Festival.

Formed in 1974, the Utah Film Commission is part of the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and the Utah Office of Tourism. Our mission is to promote the entire state of Utah for film, television and commercial production and foster the development of local talent, industry and crew.

Film production creates jobs in the creative sector while supporting local businesses and encouraging tourism across the state. Utah’s Motion Picture Incentive Program has had a profound impact on the state, both economically and culturally.

The Utah Film Commission provides support for multiple production types including motion pictures, television, and commercials. From student to studio productions, the Utah Film Commission can assist you when filming in the state.

Since the early 1930s, Utah has been capturing the imagination of filmmakers and storytellers and today is no exception. With thousands of productions created in-state, Utah has an undeniably deep and lasting commitment to the entertainment industry. It includes iconic films such as ‘Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid’, ‘Thelma & Louise’, ‘Easy Rider’, and ‘Forrest Gump’.
