We have a comprehensive and inclusive definition of the term
A Utah filmmaker can be anyone who takes part in filmmaking with a connection* to the state of Utah. They include—but are not limited to—Producers, Writers, Directors, Assistant Directors, Cinematographers, Directors of Photography, Camera Operators, ACs, Sound Engineers, Boom Operators, Actors, Extras, Stunt Performers, Animal Wranglers, Cable Wranglers, Gaffers, Grips, Electricians, Caterers, Set Medics, Set Designers, Property Masters, Hair & Make-up Artists, Production Assistants, Animators, SFX/VFX Artists, Composers, and many other individuals filling technical and creative positions.
In short, anyone who participates in film production in any capacity in Utah is—as far as we’re concerned—a Utah Filmmaker™ and is automatically granted Community Membership in the Utah Filmmakers™ Association.

* 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.
