Join the original Celebrating the diversity of Utah filmmakers
“...Being respectful means being inclusive, polite, patient, understanding, and courteous. One must respect the rights of others…and recognize that there is strength in diversity...
“...An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither productive nor creative.”
Our Core Values are not just words on a page. They are intended to guide our actions and decisions. The Utah Filmmakers™ Association recognizes the importance of representation in the media for marginalized communities while acknowledging the entertainment industry's unfortunate—and ongoing—history of discrimination and exclusion.
We applaud efforts to correct discriminatory practices and expand opportunities for underrepresented filmmakers in front of and behind the camera, but much work remains.
One small—albeit symbolic—contribution that we, as an organization, can make toward that effort is to design variations of our Utah Filmmaker™ badge to celebrate the diversity of our members.
Individual assets can be downloaded from the embedded table:
