From 2003 to 2006, filmmaker and journalist Steven Greenstreet recorded footage in and around Salt Lake City for a documentary he never finished. He's now decided to release it and just posted a trailer online. The movie, There Is a Place, tells "an anthology of weird, hilarious, and heartbreaking stories inside the Mormon enclave of Utah." These include, most grippingly, the disappearance of Lori Hacking, who it later turned out had been brutally murdered in her sleep by her husband; LGBT rights activists whose mission is antithetical to that of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; a metal band; and a strip club struggling to survive in a city that's largely appalled by its existence. Greenstreet previously co-directed 8: The Mormon Proposition, about the Church's heavy involvement in California's successful anti-gay marriage proposition.

What connects many of the stories is the tension between the Mormon faith that founded Salt Lake City and the outsiders who come into conflict with it. That, and bizarre, only-in-Utah anecdotes of daily life there. Many of the residents interviewed describe the city as a "promised land," but There Is a Place suggests it's also home to some nightmares.

The trailer page says only that the movie is "coming soon."
