ABOUT FADE TO BLACK PRODUCTIONS

It is important for the Utah film and TV production industry to flourish.  To do that, we need to create experienced crew through education. Using the experience of industry professionals that is the purpose of these programs--to provide aspiring crew members with the tools and skills necessary to succeed.
