Tammie Stimpfel, HHM Film Slam Producer

Hello! Welcome!

My name is Tammie Stimpfel, I am co-owner of Ohno Design, a web/graphic design/marketing company in Bay City, Michigan.

I fell in love with filmmaking through a 48-hour film challenge. What I discovered, without knowing a thing about film, other than watching them at a theater every now and again, was how collaborative this art form is. Each film is it’s own unique creation, a canvas touched by many.

In November 2017 I became determined to coordinate a local film challenge and started talking to Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival (HHM) Director Alan LaFave about doing this competition in association with the festival. When he offered to screen the films during the festival I was thrilled! What a perfect fit for this event to be a part of HHM, and for HHM to support local filmmakers.

The inaugural Film Slam event had 7 teams who created some great work in such a short time span.

Please be aware it is a new addition to the festival and I am open to suggestions. My main goal right now is to make this intensely compressed filmmaking process accessible to local filmmakers, and to those who would like to discover all the amazing talents it takes to make a film. It is an exhausting way to have a weekend of fun while learning a lot.

Also, note that this website is set up to become a database for filmmakers as well as a Team communication center. By signing up as a Member, it’s free, you will have the opportunity to connect with actors, crew, producers, directors and other talent. Please join even if you can’t participate this time.

Happy Filmmaking!
