Utah-Based Production Company Brings 20 Films and $10 Million to Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Flynn-Daines Productions and Grizzly Adams(R) Productions will join together to create one of the largest film production companies in Utah. The venture will bring a minimum of 20 films and $10 million to Utah over the next five years. The films will be released through Grizzly Adams Family(R) Entertainment starting in 2007.

"We are thrilled about this partnership and what it means for the movie industry here in Utah," says McKay Daines of Flynn-Daines Productions. "Utah is a great place to make movies. You can shoot any genre of movie here and the talent pool is excellent. We are pleased that we can bring these opportunities to Utah's film industry."

Production will begin on four films in 2007, with a budget of $500,000 each. Each movie will create new jobs for Utah actors, production and crew members.

Grizzly Adams Family Entertainment focuses on family-friendly movies, and those produced by Flynn-Daines will include "Capra-esque" dramatic themes.

"There's a yearning among the public for family values and feel good movies that used to be produced by Frank Capra 50 years ago," says Charles E. Sellier, President of Grizzly Adams Productions. "In our partnering with Flynn-Daines, we're going to bring back highly emotional 'Capra-esque' themed movies in contemporary situations."

Frank Capra made the hit movies, "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946), "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944), "Pocketful of Miracles" (1961), "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "You Can't Take It With You" (1938), and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939).

Flynn-Daines is producing and directing the films with development and research assistance from Grizzly Adams Productions.

Both Grizzly Adams and Flynn-Daines believe in making films on modest budgets to guarantee a good revenue flow to investors, retailers and the producers.

"Our philosophy is one wherein you assess the potential of the film at the box office and in DVD sales and then adjust your budget accordingly," says Michael Flynn, President of Flynn-Daines. "The formula works!"
