Renewing Motion Picture Incentive Fund a Top Priority for Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED)

After visiting the production set for the film "John Carter of Mars" in Moab with Governor Gary Herbert, Utah Film Commission http://film.utah.gov/ Director Marshall Moore stopped at Hollow Mountain Gas & Grocery in the remote hamlet of Hanksville to put gas in his tank. As cashier Celeste Sellers took his money she noticed the Utah Film Commission logo on his shirt and wanted to shake his hand.

Sellers told Moore she wanted to thank him that "John Carter of Mars" was being filmed in Utah. Her son needed a job and was hired to work security on the set.

Thinking about the encounter later, Moore says he thought to himself: "That’s what bringing films to Utah is all about."
