Community Screening of:
“9,963,000 Frames: The EXTRA Years”
An unlikely creation born out of the marriage of independent filmmaking and investigative journalism, EXTRA debuted just a few weeks before the release of Star Wars. From 1977 to 1984, it shined as a showcase of independence in the world of television.
EXTRA was unconventional and unpredictable, at times running against the grain of conservatism that dominates Utah. Inspired by 60 Minutes and born out of the passions of documentary filmmaker Diane Orr and Utah journalist Lucky Severson, it featured some of the best visual storytelling of the era.
Now, that revolutionary idea is being honored by the Utah Film Commission as part of 100 Years of Film and Television in Utah, with a screening of 9,963,000 Frames: The EXTRA Years.
