Films to shoot in Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — Two new film productions have been approved for state-funded incentives, including one that will be partially shot in Weber and Davis counties.
“Good Joe Bell” and “My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To” were approved for state film incentives by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. According to a news release from the Utah Film Commission, the two projects will generate an estimated $7 million in economic impact and create more than 220 local jobs.
“Good Joe Bell” begins shooting this month, with filming taking place in Tooele, Salt Lake and Summit counties. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, the film stars Mark Wahlberg, Connie Britton and Reid Miller. “Good Joe Bell” tells the true story of an Oregon father who sets out on a walk across America to raise awareness after his gay teenage son died by suicide. The script was written by Academy Award winners Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry.
“My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To” was approved under the Community Film Incentive Program, which supports smaller, local projects. The narrative feature will shoot in Salt Lake, Wasatch, Summit, Weber and Davis counties. It’s being produced by Utahn Kenny Riches (“Monsters and Men”).
