The Network Austin Mixer is a networking get-together where people in the entertainment, film, music, and game industries can meet, forward their careers, and share ideas and information. We are actors, filmmakers, screenwriters, producers, directors, agents, crew members, etc., and our Mixers are a great place to meet like minds, get different types of media projects going, and find out the scoop on new productions.
 

THE NETWORK AUSTIN MIXER meets at Baby Acapulco's - also known at Baby A's - 5610 North IH-35, Austin, 78751 - on the southbound I35 Frontage Road on the west side of I35, South of the Koenig Lane-I35-US 290 East intersection. If heading North on I 35, exit 2222, make the far left U-turn, and head back South on the frontage road. If heading South on I 35, take Exit 238B-A (Houston, East 290, 2222), go through the 2222/290 intersection and keep going south on the frontage road. Baby A's is an Austin institution, and we meet in the large back room with HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS until 7 PM!

Our Mixers are free and open to people who work in or are interested in film and media, and require no registration, cover charge or membership. Just show up. We meet on the second and last Wednesdays of each month, and we usually have guest speakers at all Mixers now. Sometimes we hold round table discussions, show short films, and pitch projects.
