About WMFF Started in 2014, The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival is a week-long outdoor adventure and environmentally documentary film festival based in Salt Lake City, Utah. WMFF is Utah's premiere outdoor film festival and attracts the world's best outdoor documentary filmmakers and attendees from near and far. Why The Wasatch The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival was conceived from the idea that the Wasatch Mountains are home to one of the most incredible mountain communities in the world. Each year millions of visitors travel from around the globe to experience this special place with unparalleled ease of access to the mountains.

As a local to Salt Lake, the Wasatch Mountain Film tour is THE festival that celebrates all things local and outdoors. Supported by dozens of local companies and creatives, they are carving their space in the outdoor festival world.

Wasatch is a film festival built on the right values at the base of the stunning Wasatch Mountains. We were honored to share our film there in 2024.

WMFF is by far one of my top favorites to attend. The list of films that are screened at this festival are diverse and truly remarkable every year. As a local in Salt Lake City, it's also an incredible opportunity to meet other creatives in the area. The love for the outdoors, adventure, and conservation is strong at this festival. Very honored this year to have my film selected in the program, "Just Start."
