SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A new documentary chronicles the history of the southern Utah town sometimes known as "Little Hollywood."
Since the 1920s Kanab and other parts of Kane County have been a popular site for filming television programs and movies. The region has provided a backdrop for films including "Western Union," "Buffalo Bill," and Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales." Television's "Gunsmoke" and "Have Gun, Will Travel" were also filmed there.
Now a 38-minute film by Dixie State College professor Stephen B. Armstrong will chronicle that history. The film debuts June 17 in Kanab. It will be used as a promotional tool to attract more film projects to the region.
Armstrong says "Return to Little Hollywood" shows footage of locations and sets from past film productions.
