TRUE STORY: Utah Govt Provides Almost $100k for "Bigfoot vs. Nazis" Movie

“The one and only ‘Bigfoot versus Nazis’ will be filmed in Utah this November — with state financial assistance.” –Salt Lake Tribune
 

Normally I like to provide some type of editorial from the angle, “what does this mean?” Not a chance on this one. What does it mean when an entire state decides to provide almost $100,000 in incentives to help finance a movie titled, “Bigfoot Vs. Nazis”?
 

Well Utah has it’s reasons. Read below and then check out some cool preview photos from the movie production.

Maybe its plot is a bit far-fetched, acknowledged Utah Film Commission Director Marshall Moore in a presentation Thursday to the Governor’s Office of Economic Development board. Especially the parts where Einstein and Frankenstein get involved in the fight between monsters mythical and real.
 

 But, he added, the Camera 40 Productions team making the fantasy adventure feature film will spend almost $500,000 in the state, shooting for most of November with a cast of 18, plus 25 crew members and 200 extras.
 

For that reason, GOED’s board unanimously approved a post-performance tax credit for Camera 40 of up to $98,406, 20 percent of the amount the production team expects to leave in the state.
 

“Bigfoot versus Nazis” was one of eight film projects that received incentives from GOED. The offers are based on the production companies spending defined amounts of money in the state and, quite often, hiring at least 85 percent of the cast and crew locally.
 

The tax credit increases from 20 to 25 percent when spending tops $1 million, Moore noted. But it can be cut back if a production falls short of meeting its spending goal.
