Board OKs incentives for 2 movie productions

The Governor's Office of Economic Development Board on Thursday approved spending rebate incentives for a pair of movie productions.

The board approved a rebate of up to $500,000 for Snowmen LLC for the film "Snowmen," an independent feature film that is expected to spend $3.4 million while shooting in Utah.

Frostbite Features Inc. was approved for a rebate of up to $240,000 for "Frozen." The independent feature film is expected to spend $1.6 million in Utah.

While the Discovery Channel was not in consideration for an incentive, the company will be in Utah in late February to shoot at several Utah companies for its "How It's Made" program that details processes used to manufacture certain products, GOED executive director Jason Perry said.
