Utah Film Commission issues hundreds of permits in 2019

Utah issued several hundred film permits in 2019, which officials say made for a busy year.

Nearly two dozen productions received film incentives, including for feature films, television series and documentaries, the Utah Film Commission said.

The state currently offers up to a 25% tax credit or cash rebate on money spent by productions in the state, with the program capped at about $8 million each year.

Among the productions filmed in Utah this year are Disney’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” which will film a second season in the state in 2020.
