Utah Celebrates 100 Years of Hollywood History


From silent films to 'Yellowstone' and 'Westworld,' Utah has produced more than 1,000 film and TV programs since 1924.

The scenic state’s close relationship with moviemakers began 100 years ago during the silent film era when cowboy star Tom Mix shot “The Deadwood Coach” in Southern Utah, and continues today through projects from the likes of multi-hyphenate Kevin Costner. Sci-fi works too: exec producer-director Jonathan Nolan’s “Fallout” most recently made use of northern Utah locations for the game-based, post-apocalyptic-set Amazon Prime Video series. Currently, Pearce is working with legislators to maintain funding for Utah’s refundable tax credit-motion picture incentive program, which encourages production in rural counties outside the main corridor along the Wasatch Mountains’ front.
