About the Utah Film Commission
As part of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the Utah Office Tourism, the Utah Film Commission formed in 1974 promotes the entire state as a destination for film, television, and commercial production by promoting the use of professional local crew and talent, support services, Utah locations, and the Motion Picture Incentive Program.
