Why Spon­sor HHM Film & Music Festival?

Fun in the Fall.

Mid Michi­gan is full of won­der­ful sum­mer­time events. After Labor Day our fall event offer­ings are slim. This is a great way to stay “out-and-about” in Mid Michigan’s great fall weather!

Always some­thing new.

Every year brings a new group of films, film­mak­ers and bands. There’s always some­thing new to expe­ri­ence (and talk about).

Cel­e­brate Bay City’s history!

Bay City has a long his­tory of lively enter­tain­ment (search on-line for Hell’s Half Mile, our name­sake) that HHM Fest always tries to embody. Legally, that is!

Inter­na­tional Recognition.

Film­mak­ers from around the world have sub­mit­ted and screened films at HHM Fest!!! From Aus­tralia to Eng­land to Ger­many, HHM Fest is on the radar of inde­pen­dent film­mak­ers across the globe.

Our mis­sion and our community

HHM Fest is more than an event for those who appre­ci­ate film and music. It’s a grass­roots effort to develop a com­mu­nity that par­tic­i­pates in the arts.

Enter­tain­ment with a “buzz.”

When some­thing is new, edgy and as excit­ing as an orig­i­nal inde­pen­dent film or a tal­ented new band then the “buzz” trav­els fast. There’s truly a “buzz” when the cast or crew from a film is present to talk about their expe­ri­ences mak­ing the film and HHM Fest cre­ates a great atmos­phere for the audi­ence to inter­act with filmmakers.

Demon­strated, proven return on investment

A 1999 sur­vey con­ducted by the Inter­na­tional Events Group, Inc (IEG), the world­wide author­ity on the spon­sor­ship indus­try, revealed fes­ti­vals have higher audi­ence loy­alty than NASCAR or cause mar­ket­ing. The sur­vey fur­ther con­cluded that 78% of com­pa­nies agree that par­tic­i­pat­ing in fes­ti­vals has a mea­sur­able impact on con­sumer sales of their prod­uct and they pro­vided the most con­ducive envi­ron­ment for expe­ri­en­tial sam­pling. HHM Fest offers a wide range of spon­sor­ship oppor­tu­ni­ties to meet any company’s mar­ket­ing goals through cus­tomized pro­grams of on-site brand­ing, one-to-one mar­ket­ing and exten­sive pro­mo­tional exposure.

HHM Fest is a fun and easy way for your com­pany to play a role in bring­ing new and inven­tive arts pro­grams to Bay City. Your invest­ment in HHM Fest will help us grow into a big­ger and bet­ter event with excit­ing new fea­tures like, film maker forums, guest appear­ances, video art instal­la­tions, inde­pen­dent film screen­ings through­out the year and much more. But we can’t do it with­out you.

In sup­port­ing HHM Fest, your busi­ness name will be exposed to crowds of film­go­ers doing some­thing they enjoy — watch­ing movies!!! On aver­age, a film fes­ti­val­goer will attend at least 3 film screen­ings after review­ing the pro­gram sched­ule and/or web site. In addi­tion to the pro­gram and web site, HHM Fest has stan­dard or cus­tom oppor­tu­ni­ties for expo­sure including:
