A new TV program featuring Utah will be coming to primetime television in April 2008 featuring local talent and local folklore.
A team of young entrepreneurs have put together a television series that will be focusing on the darker side of Utah legends. James Cawley, 24, is the director of IN THE DARK STUDIOS based in Logan, and is the creator and director of this series, Dark Utah.
Starting with the famous Logan Canyon Nunnery, the Time Tunnels, and the Bear Lake Monster, this show will “explore the more interesting parts of this historic state [Utah]” says Cawley.
Cawley attended Utah State University in Logan where he earned a bachelors degree in graphic arts/multimedia integration and a minor in directing. He has many projects and businesses including CACHEVIDEO.COM and IN THE DARK STUDIOS. The hostess of the show will be another local individual and USU student. Tasia Hatch, 29, has been brought on to the project as the ‘face’ of Dark Utah. Hatch is an undeclared student at USU and a single mother of three. She recently joined the team “I am very excited to do this” she said “I’ve never done anything like this before, but so far its been great.”
Another part of this project includes a team of interviewers that will be travelling through the state finding stories and interviewing individuals about said mysteries. “Dark secrets and ancient legends have been passed down for generations” said Cawley. “This gives us a lot to film”
Another feature to this new series is the interactivity. Individuals can log on to DARKUTAH.COM and submit their own stories and see investigations and clips from the show. Hatch commented “This show has a lot to offer, from history to horror. I hope people will tune in. They won’t want to miss it.”
