SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Film Commission announced Thursday that five new productions have been approved to film in Utah and to receive incentives from the state.
The productions are expected to generate $6.9 million in economic impact and create 300 local jobs, according to a news release from the commission.
The Governor s Office of Economic Development board approved three productions for the Motion Picture Incentive Program and two for the Community Film Incentive Program to support smaller, local projects. The larger productions include the two-part Hallmark film Christmas at the Madison, starring sisters Kimberly Williams Paisley and Ashley Williams, and the feature film Summering from the minds behind Brigsby Bear and The Spectacular Now.
