While there are still commercials and videos coming to town, it's not enough to support even the few crew members whove stuck it out, and its not reliable enough to keep the industry going. Davey says low budget TV shows may be the' answer. There are hundreds of cable stations across the' country looking for shows to air - at the right price These arent $3,000,000 productions," he says. They sell for maybe $75. 000 to $100,000. But the market is there for people willing to start at that level. He believes the county could come up with $3,500 to $5,000 for equipment or related expenses. Theres more money at the state level for -- PG13 Sun.

Daveys first steps are trying to round up participants, research those funding sources and lobby land managers for more affordable film permits - sort of a locals discount. A company producing a five, ten or project cant afford $250 a day for permit payments. But what if you had a system here you pay, lets say, $1,000 a year for unlimited use, and w keep your crew size limited, and file an application each time you go out. Davey says while the local Bureau of Land Management wasn't against it, we need them to champion if' and so far thats not hap- pening Jeremy Parriott sees affordable permits as a must for viable local production.

While there are no programs on air here now, towns like Park City, Telluride and Bozeman all air home-madshows and cover the costs with sponsorships. Theresa King, managing partner of Moab Broadcasting Company, says the doors are foopi n. The station is now cused on upgrading its equipment, and King says MBC isn t interested in live TV, but she'd like to see whats out there in terms of ready-to-ai- r programs.
