A community by women for women in the industry
Our group, Utah Women in Production and Photography (UWIPP), has the mission to help and support women in their journey to become professionals in video production. We are a community for women, all about women. We offer different opportunities to connect, network, collaborate and grow.
Utah Women in Production and Photography's story began with BW Productions' team. We noticed the impact women had on set and on projects. These women provided different perspectives, skills and insights on how to complete these jobs. Yet, there always seemed to be a lack of women within the industry. So we put a team together.
The Utah Film Commission markets the entire state of Utah for film, television and commercial production. They foster the development of our local talent and crew.
Utah Film Center connects people, stories, and ideas through film, artist support, and media arts education.
