FILM IN UTAH

With tax incentives of 20-25%, worldly locations and experienced crews, Utah makes each filming experience one worth repeating. From independent features, large studio productions, TV series and made for TV movies, Utah has been a sought after filming destination since the 1920’s. With over 900 films and TV movies filmed in Utah including 127 Hours, High School Musical,  Everwood, Hereditary, Disney Channel's Andi Mack and Yellowstone, both independent and studio producers film in Utah for the same reasons.
