Film Industry

Colorado has played a starring role in many films over the decades. This summer, a unique film festival is highlighting movies with a Colorado connection, with screenings in independent theaters across the state. And it's all part of celebrations of Colorado's150th birthday tomorrow.

The acclaimed Sundance Film Festival kicks off in Utah for the last time, this weekend, before it moves to Colorado. Many are feeling excited; some are ready to say goodbye.

Between hosting a hit reality show and acquiring a prestigious film festival, Colorado’s entertainment industry has been buzzing recently. But filmmakers, producers and crew members say making media here is still an uphill battle.
