Kanab Film Fest
film & food experience

In 2018, Britt and Jeff embarked on a new chapter in Kanab, a town rich in film history and known as Little Hollywoodfor its hundreds of film productions. Noticing the absence of a multi-day film festival in this cinematic hub, they set out to create one. In 2019, the inaugural Kanab Film Fest took place at the historic Parry Lodge, and it has continued to grow, refining its niche in the festival industry with the support of a remarkably talented team.

Britt brings extensive event planning experience, while Jeff, who holds a Master’s in Animation from SCAD, has shared his expertise in film and motion graphics at the college level and is an award-winning filmmaker.

Through their nonprofit, Roth Ventures, they are dedicated to keeping the magic of moviemaking alive in southern Utah—supporting emerging filmmakers, fostering community engagement, and celebrating Kanab’s deep cinematic roots. Beyond the festival, they are also the proud owners of Dark Sky, a boutique RV park in Kanab.

This aligns with her mission to bring horseback riding therapy to local special needs, disabled, and veteran communities.

Terri Henry loves the energy and synergy of film. Fascinated by a History of Film course at UCLA and inspired by her friends’ student film projects at USC, Terri was naturally drawn to the Sundance Film Festival after moving to Utah’s Wasatch Front. 

From standing in line in the snow for rush tickets to listening to creative team discussions one year, to being a guest of honor at the premier of The Case Against 8 at her last time there, that film festival had her hooked!

When she settled into Kanab, Terri was thrilled to find the Kanab Film Fest and spent every minute she could volunteering in any way needed. It is her honor to now be part of the KFF leadership team.
