Haymaker Film Festival will be hosted at The Beehive, a performance and live event venue located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. A community hub for many forms of alternative arts, The Beehive provides a one-of-a-kind screening experience, especially when compared to a traditional cinema (or conference room). Founded and maintained by community members, The Beehive is a true representation of the DIY ethos -- a spirit shared by Haymaker Film Festival.

Haymaker Film Festival is the festival branch of Salt Lake Action Cinema Society. Founded in 2023, Salt Lake Action Cinema Society is a monthly exhibition series dedicated to showcasing the best of repertory action cinema. Since its inception, Salt Lake Action Cinema Society has screened a diverse set of action films, ranging from American blockbusters like Con Air, to Hong Kong classics like Police Story, to direct-to-video gems like Ninja: Shadow of a Tear.
