Confession plans to spend $1.9 million in the state and hire over 90 local cast and crew. The crime drama will be filmed entirely in-state with principal photography taking place in the Salt Lake City area. It will begin production in early November.
The second feature approved for film incentives, Hidden World, plans to spend $450,000 in Utah and will film in both Salt Lake and Utah counties. This independent fantasy feature plans to hire 50 local cast and crew and will begin filming in mid-October.
Shadow Wolves, an independent feature, will start production in early January. The production plans to spend $2.2 million in the state and hire over 60 cast and crew from Utah.
Local company Silver Peak Productions was approved for Cinderella Christmas, a project that plans to spend $669,000 and hire over 60 local cast and crew. Silver Peak Productions has produced a number of films in Utah over the past ten years, including Scents & Sensibility and Singing with Angels.
