Brian Gannon, Director of the
Austin Film Commission
We are extremely proud to have Brian Gannon as our guest speaker on Wednesday, December 9th! Brian has worked as the Film & Marketing Manager at the Austin Film Commission for 3 years prior to becoming the Commission’s Director. Prior to his time at the Austin Film Commission, Brian gained production experience working in different capacities on numerous film projects including working on productions at Detour and Troublemaker Studios. Over the years Brian has also worked at the Texas Film Commission as a Production Liaison.
The Austin Film Commission offers information about permits and regulations, incentives and grants, filmmaker resources, professional crews, facilities and vendors, infrastructure for production (including studio space and equipment), film festivals, diverse locations available—Austin is surrounded by small towns time has forgotten, perfect for a period piece—and more! We are very fortunate to have the Austin Film Commission as a source of support and information about so many aspects of the video/film/production business, and even more fortunate to have such a passionate and knowledgeable person as Brian Gannon for its director.
Moviemaker Magazine says Austin is the #1 city to live & make films, and the industry has taken notice. Austin is a leading destination for independent and large-budget films as well as television and commercial productions. And Austin’s talented crew base gives producers more value per dollar spent.
So join us on Wednesday, December 9, 2015. Plan to arrive early for a cold margarita (Happy Hour ends at 6PM!), network and meet new friends with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with other guests, and get the info you need to know about the Austin Film Commission and its new director.
