Attention Utah filmmakers!

Park City Film invites you to submit your work for the Made in Utah: Mid-Length Series, a evening that celebrates the incredible talent, creativity, and stories emerging from Utah. This event is designed to highlight exceptional short films created by Utah filmmakers, offering a platform to showcase unique voices from around the State and connecting them to independent film loving audiences.

We are looking to program a 90 minute program of short films on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Our goal is to foster connections between filmmakers and audiences, creating an environment where collaboration and creativity can thrive.

Selected films will be featured in a free community screening on Thursday, September 24th at 7pm at Park City Film/Jim Santy Auditorium in Park City. The goal of the event is to connect filmmakers with industry professionals as well as passionate film lovers. Following the film screening filmmakers are invited to mingle in the filmmaker lounge with attendees and other film industry professionals.

All genres are welcome.

Please note, if you’re not selected for this event, we might still reach out to show your film at a future event.

We can't wait for you to share your story!
