MONTANA - The Montana Film Office awarded a total of $500,000 in grants to 14 films that will be shot on location across the state. The office estimated these projects will spend $72 million in Montana while filming.Â
The projects cover a wide range of themes such as, a documentary about issues tribal women face, a feature film about a Montana MMA fighter and an educational series for children featuring music and animation.Â
They'll be shot all throughout the state, from Hamilton and Missoula to different parts of eastern Montana.Â
These projects don't just create jobs in Montana's growing film industry, but boosts the economy beyond that, Allison Whitmer, Montana film commissioner, said.Â
