Capital Campaign for Utah Film Center at the Geralyn White Dreyfous Building
Help Us Build the Future of Film in Utah
For 23 years, Utah Film Center has provided media arts education, film exhibition, and artist support to communities across the state—all without ever having a permanent home.
By satelliting programs at our local libraries, parks, schools, and partner organizations, we have managed to bring impactful programming to every corner of the state. However, we longed for a space of our own—a place to ground our work, expand our reach, and build a hub for film lovers, artists, educators, and audiences alike.
Now, after years of dreaming, planning, and a whole lot of elbow grease, we’re proud to share that Utah Film Center is the official owner of a permanent home in the heart of Salt Lake’s historic Marmalade District!
Outfitted with state-of-the-art film co-working spaces, a black box studio, and reception, event, administrative and educational spaces, we are positioned to become a cultural, technical, and fine-arts center in Utah for all in the community to enjoy through our diverse, frequent, and far-reaching activations.
But we’re not finished yet.
We still need your support to bring this vision fully to life. Your contribution to our Capital Campaign will help us cross the finish line—and ensure that our new home thrives as a hub for filmmaking, artist advancement, community dialogue, and cutting-edge, future forward programming right here in Utah, for years and years to come.
If you’ve ever watched a film with us that moved you, attended a workshop that taught you something, gained hands-on experience that shaped your career trajectory, found inspiration at a festival that reinvigorated you, or sat in on a Q&A that sparked something inside you, you are part of our Film Center family—and we need you.
Utah Film Center is a (501)c3 non-profit organization. We are here for the community, and made by our community. Thank you for believing in the power of cinematic storytelling right along with us. We can’t wait to welcome you into our new home.
Every gift helps. You can contribute to our capital campaign in the following ways:
