The 48 Hour Film Project. Brought to Salt Lake City in 2007 by Utah FilmmakersAssociate Brian Higgins. The annual film competition in which teams of filmmakers are assigned a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue, and have 48 hours to create a short film containing those elements. It’s a fun and exciting event for the local film community.

The Utah Cultural Alliance (UCA) represents hundreds of businesses—including Utah Filmmakers—and thousands of creative professionals in the cultural industry, working to advance arts, museums, film, humanities, and entertainment.

Central Utah 4-H Filmmakers was an after-school program that operated in Sanpete County, teaching local youth about filmmaking through the production of a series of shorts called “Phil & Friends.” The show was broadcast on CentraCom’s Local Channel 10. We also operated a small studio space for a time courtesy of Wasatch Academy in Mt. Pleasant.

Our organization has also participated in a number of local Utah events including Mt. Pleasant's soapbox derby as well as Independence Day and Pioneer Day parades.
