The Kanab Field Office is located in the south central section on the Utah-Arizona border, near Lake Powell and Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Set in the heart of the Grand Circle of scenic National Parks, National Monuments, and State Parks, the Kanab Field Office is patterned by towering sandstone formations, scenic slot canyons, colorful sand dunes, rolling sagebrush, pinyon-juniper expanses, and patches of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir.
Pioneer history, cowboy traditions, archeological treasures, desert sunsets, and colorful landscapes entrap anyone who ventures in. Whether you are here to hike, hunt, photograph the unique geologic formations, or simply to enjoy the scenery or find solitude, we invite you to discover this special place in southwestern Utah.
Areas ideal for filming include Hog Canyon, Crocodile, East and West Clark Bench, Harris Mountain, Elephant Gap, and Skutumpah Road. Film permits have been obtained for these areas previously.

Incentives: https://film.utah.gov/incentives/
In support of the film industry in the State of Utah, Governor Gary Herbert and the State Legislature have approved the Motion Picture Incentive Program (MPIP). The State of Utah may provide a post-performance financial incentive to production companies in order to help develop a strong motion picture industry presence in the state, that will contribute substantially to improving Utah’s economy.
The MPIP is a post-performance, fully refundable tax credit or cash rebate of production dollars spent in the state of Utah. An approved production will be rebated 15% to 25% on every dollar spent in the State of Utah. A production must spend a minimum of $200,000 in the state for the 20% cash rebate and a minimum of $1,000,000 in the state to qualify for the up to 25% tax credit or cash rebate.
The cash rebate has a cap of $500,000 per project. The tax credit has no per project cap. An application must be completed, submitted and approved for each project prior to the start of principle photography to qualify.
Due to the current limited availability of funds in the cash rebate it will be at the discretion of The Utah Film Commission and the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development to determine which type of incentive could be offered when a fully completed application has been received.
