OUR TEAM

Marshall & Michelle Moore

Marshall and Michelle Moore have over 50 years of combined film industry experience and are extremely passionate about helping connect filmmakers, friends and audiences alike. With their background in marketing, public relations, film production and business operations it was a beautiful marriage of skill sets when they became the new owners and co-directors of Zions Indie Film Fest in 2021.

Marshall has an impressive filmography that started in Los Angeles and ultimately brought him to Utah working on the TV mini-series, The Stand in 1994. He worked full-time as a location manager for 20 years before joining the staff of The Utah Film Commission and was subsequently named Director by Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. in 2007 where he stayed until 2014. Marshall is currently the VP of Operations and Marketing at Utah Film Studios in Park City, Utah which was home to the Paramount Network television series Yellowstone for 3 seasons.

Michelle is a tenacious and experienced film publicist and brand specialist with a proven track record in content strategy and storytelling. She has worked on over 40 films with filmmakers and actors from around the world and is the owner and operator of Moore PR Group, leading media campaigns, premieres, and special events year-round. Michelle currently serves as the Director of Content and New Production at Living Scriptures+, where she helps guide the development, acquisition, and production of mission-driven content.

Filmmakers, industry professionals, and audiences will be delighted with the programming and focus the Moore's have as they work hard to become one of the top-tier festivals over the next few years.
