Filming in Utah 'great'

Utah is a pretty great state for shooting a film, according to an online survey conducted by Variety, a show business trade paper.

The paper’s staff polled industry professionals and came up with a list of best places for filmmaking, which were reported in the Oct. 23 issue of the publication.

Utah, Connecticut and Vancouver, B.C., earned honorable mentions for Best Film-Office Support.

Utah was noted in the Variety text:

“The Utah Film Commission helps film makers deal with permitting, local government agencies and locations that range from ‘John Ford country’ backdrops to alpine meadows and woodlands.”

Utah Film Commission spokesman Trevor Snarr said his office was happy to be recognized by the professionals polled, including location and production managers, directors, assistant directors and cinematographers.

Top domestic location honors went to California, New York, New Mexico, Chicago and Louisiana.
