At the Edge of Utah,
Find the Heart of Film

Escape to the ultimate filmmaker and movie enthusiast retreat in Kanab, Utah—an iconic Western film hub since the 1920s, still prized for its breathtaking, sought-after landscapes.

Experience three unforgettable days of cutting-edge independent films, local cuisine, masterclasses, outdoor adventures, inspiring creative discussions, and exceptional hospitality—all in one place.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Each year, a unique theme sets the tone for the entire experience, weaving it into the imagery, décor, and events so you feel like you're part of a cinematic story.

The festivities kick off with Thursday’s Welcome Party, where guests step into character with themed costumes, enjoying a night of great food and drinks. Past themes have transported attendees to a Western Hoedown at Little Hollywood, a swinging 60s Pool Party at the retro Quail Park Lodge, and even a 1920s Gatsby-style Murder Mystery Soirée at The Heritage House, where the 'murder' unfolded in real time, making everyone part of the suspenseful plot with clues to help solve the mystery over the weekend.
