Motion Picture Association

The Motion Picture Association of Utah Forum will take place
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
7:00 p.m.
Redman Movies and Stories
1075 S. 700 W
Salt Lake City
(801) 978-9292.

Light refreshments will be served. I encourage each and every member of the MPAU to attend, and I ask that each of you bring a friend who is an industry member but has not yet joined the MPAU.

The entire Board of the MPAU will be present, as well as members of the Utah Film Commission, including Marshall Moore. I expect to discuss the current state of our industry including upcoming productions which have received the Utah Motion Picture Incentive. I want to report on our recent meeting with Governor Herbert, as well as our recent meeting with Spencer Eccles, the new Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. I also want to detail our plans to you for the upcoming Legislative Session. As with all Forums, however, the main goal is to give you a chance to express your thoughts and concerns on an in person face-to-face basis. These have been difficult times for all of us, and one of the results has been a considerable amount of misinformation being disseminated. I think it is important to clear the air.

Sincerely,
Don Schlain, President
