SALT LAKE CITY — It's lights, camera, action for five new film productions that are estimated to bring nearly $85 million into the state.
The Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity Board gave the green light for new productions to receive state film incentives, with 90 percent of the economic impact happening in rural Utah. Approved productions include the next installment of Horizon: An American Saga that began filming in Utah last year, with the majority of the second part of Horizon: An American Saga currently filming in Washington County.
“The production has made good on their commitment of local spend through not only the hiring of local crew and extras, but in purchase of raw materials and infrastructure services required to produce a film of this magnitude with minimal impact to our community,” said Joyce Kelly of Greater Zion Tourism Office.Other productions include the sequel to Hallmark Channel’s #1 holiday film of 2022; Haul Out the Holly 2 also returns to film in the state.
Well-known movies and TV shows filmed in Utah include Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Thelma & Louise, Yellowstone, High School Musical: The Series, and Westworld.
