WORK-IN-PROGRESS SCREENING: IN THE MOMENT
Coming up next week on Thursday, February 12th at 6:00pm at SLCC South City Campus Screening Room (1575 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115) is our Work-in-Progress Screening of the documentary In the Moment: The Vicky Bradshaw Story directed by filmmaker Jen Banks.

In the Moment weaves together interviews and memories to chronicle a q***r woman's final chapter with ovarian cancer. Filmed two decades ago and brought forward as her lasting legacy, the film illuminates the universal questions of how we live, love and remember.

WIP Screenings are open to the public but seating is limited. Please let us know you are coming through event registration in the link in this post.

UDA's Work-in-Progress Screening Series is an opportunity for local documentary filmmakers to get feedback on their unfinished film during the critical stage of post-production. If you'd like to apply for an upcoming opportunity to screen your film, you can find out more at our website.

Together, we've made it to the final month of 2025, and Utah Documentary Association has managed to host four Work-In-Progress Screenings, three mixer events, watched a lot of movies, and advocated for local nonfiction filmmakers!

Our work is fueled by an all-volunteer Steering Committee (which is open to taking on new members) and our amazing community of filmmakers and documentary enthusiasts, and we're so happy to have you as part of it.
