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 and approved mission-aligned 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 premieres at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

Directed by Amanda Lipitz
The senior year of a girls’ high school step team in inner-city Baltimore is documented, as they try to become the first in their families to attend college. The girls strive to make their dancing a success against the backdrop of social unrest in their troubled city. World Premiere
