How Film Production Impacts Utah’s Economy

Kevin Costner chose to film his western epic Horizon: An American Saga in Utah and the production filmed in 5 counties — Carbon, Grand, Kane, San Juan, and Washington over 70 days, but spent $94.6 Million across 22 counties (75% of Utah). This demonstrates how film and television production spend often spreads across the state. Each production is like a small business that is purchasing goods, supporting restaurants, booking hotels and injecting new dollars into Utah’s economy.
“The production has made good on their commitment of local spend through not only the hiring of local crew and extras, but in purchase of raw materials and infrastructure services required to produce a film of this magnitude with minimal impact to our community. Because of their work in our community, our film industry is strengthening and expanding.”
