The Network Austin Mixer is a networking get-together where various 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 get many different types of media projects going and find out the scoop on new productions.

Our Mixers are free, open to those interested in film and media, and require no registration or membership. Just show up. We meet on the second and last Wednesdays of each month at 7 PM at Mother Egan's Irish Pub - 715 West 6th St in Austin , TX . We usually have guest speakers at all Mixers.

We will feature a panel of independent filmmakers (to be announced soon) at our May 28 Mixer. They will discuss the ups and downs, the complications and the successes of independent filmmaking, financing, preproduction, distribution, etc. Since we have many filmmakers in our area, this is the first of several panels we will hold with independent filmmakers, as Austin is becoming known as the important center in the world of independent filmmaking.  

The Network Austin Mixer is growing, and we would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the support we have received from other film and media organizations, their staff, their websites, the Speakers who have offered their time and insights, and you, the people who attend! Thanks… and grow with us…
