Hell's Half Mile Film & Music Festival

Hell’s Half Mile is four days and nights of independent film, music and fun in Downtown Bay City, MI taking place each year in late September. After sixteen festivals, Hell’s Half Mile continues to strive to be an innovative festival for genuinely independent films and original music. This festival is about connecting filmmakers and musicians with the festival-goers. Period. Well, parties too.

Over the last sixteen years over 500 directors, producers, screenwriters and actors have joined our growing audience. Their goal is to provide filmmakers and musicians with a professional, casual and fun experience during their stay, including unique outings that give them a taste of the local flavor. It’s the least they can do in return for providing our festival-goers with great independent cinema.
