* UFA™ Members are primarily filmmakers who live in Utah. Still, many filmmakers are originally from the Intermountain West who think of Utah as home and those who divide their time between Utah and other film production markets, from L.A. to New York and Ontario to New Mexico. Regular participants in Utah-based film festivals—regardless of their geographical origin—are also welcome to wear the moniker—literally.
