Fountain Green council approves short film’s request to shoot in town with conditions
Summary
Tokens LLC received city approval to film scenes at the cemetery, theater and dance hall on proposed dates after agreeing to supply insurance, coordinate traffic control with the sheriff and obtain required UDOT and local permits.
Councilors voted to allow Tokens LLC to film scenes in Fountain Green provided the production obtains the proper permits, secures traffic control and coordinates closures with the county sheriff and UDOT. A representative for the production team said the shoot is rain‑or‑shine and would be supported by a traffic‑control company and proof of liability insurance (the production indicated coverage of up to $3 million and offered to name the city as an additional insured).
The production requested short, controlled closures at the cemetery and a short section of a state highway for a few minutes to capture period shots; council asked staff to ensure that funeral access would be preserved and that permit language include liability and restoration obligations. The motion that passed included a friendly amendment requiring coordination with the local sheriff to confirm road‑closure procedures and the timeline, and to confirm that Tokens LLC obtain any UDOT permissions needed before filming on the state route.
Councilors who voted in favor said they were comfortable permitting the filming with the stated conditions; the production was asked to provide additional materials to staff (final shot list, traffic‑control plan and an updated insurance certificate) before any road closures. The permission carried no city fee as recorded in the meeting notes; the production also offered to make a donation to the city memorial program and to coordinate logistics such as restroom access at the dance hall for cast and crew.
