Utah Film Center Fiscal Sponsored Films at 2017 Sundance Film Festival

Utah Film Center offers artist support with an alternative program: fiscal sponsorship. Artists and filmmakers in need of funding can apply to our fiscal sponsorship program online and approved non-commercial film projects are eligible to use the Film Center’s nonprofit status, rather than establishing their own. We are proud to announce that two of these projects will be making their world premiere’s at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
