FilmUtah Launches at Sundance Film Festival 2010

FilmUtah Is Designed to Increase Awareness of Film Resources and Talent in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Utah is known for its outstanding locations and professional film crews, so it
makes sense to have a magazine dedicated to promoting its vibrant film
production community to Hollywood and filmmakers around the world. Today,Corser,
Inc. announced FilmUtah (filmutah.org), a magazine designed to support the
professionals that work in the film and television industry in Utah.

FilmUtah`s mission is to proactively reintroduce the national and international
production community to Utah and reacquaint them to Utah`s experienced crew
base, unique locations and exceptional tax benefits. Its goal is to secure at
least one weekly network television production and three feature films to be
shot in Utah by 2012.

FilmUtah will increase awareness of Utah film resources, act as a complement to
the Utah Film Commission and promote the new film production incentives provided
by the Utah State Legislature`s passing of Senate Bill 14 in January. Senate
Bill 14 was passed, creating a 20% refundable tax credit with no per project
cap.

"FilmUtah creates an outlet for businesses that serve the film production
community to advertise directly to producers looking to shoot in Utah," said
John Corser, Founder and Publisher of FilmUtah. "The magazine will bring Utah
motion picture production professionals and film equipment rental companies
directly in front of decision makers and motion picture production executives.
Editorial content will emphasize Utah`s economic development incentives,
outstanding production personnel and feature professional resources and
services."

Corser manages a profitable production company, Corser, Inc., and is a 20-year
veteran of Los Angeles filmmaking. Corser, Inc. now has Park City as its
operational center. Upon relocating to Utah, Corser experienced what other
producers and directors have-the strength and depth of the film crews and
community. It was this experience and the desire to help Utah and the film crews
receive the exposure they deserve and to inform his Hollywood colleagues of the
advantages of filming in Utah that led to the creation of FilmUtah.
