Posted onAuthorGary WimmerLeave a comment

No Mixer in March

Ready for SXSW 2018? It starts today the 9th and runs through the 18th, and is the reason we don’t hold mixers in March.

While anxiously awaiting our next mixer, take this time to brush up your résumé & dig up a current headshot since we’ll be presenting 2 consecutive panels of some of the busiest and most successful casting directors in Central Texas. So mark your calendar for April 11th & May 9th when we’ll once again reunite at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill. And be first to find out which casting directors will grace our stage by getting on our mailing list!

 

Last Month

We extend our deepest thanks to last month’s terrific talent agents for speaking as our guests, elaborating on their extensive experience, and answering so many audience questions. Our February 14th panel featured these fantastic owners, managers, and agents: Jason Wasner of Acclaim Talent, Cynthia Robbins of BLVD Talent, Claudia Ramon of Condra/Artista Talent, and Romie Szal of K Hall Agency.

 

About Where We Meet

Network Austin Mixer has been meeting for well over a decade in various parts of our fine, creative, and culturally rich city. For the last several years our mixers have been held in North Austin, drawing attendance from all parts of Austin and nearby cities & towns, but obviously easiest for those north of the river. Some people, serious about making it in our industry, have traveled much farther to attend our mixers which have always been free and open to the public, and yet rich with constructive information and productive networking. So it’s time for those in South Austin to get a break since we’re a bit south of the river now. No matter where we are, and no matter where you’re from, we hope you’ll join us at our mixers!

February 14, 2018 ~ Talent Agent Panel, Part 2

Panel of Talent Agents #2

Note New Location

Talent Agent Panel, part 2

♥ Start your Valentine’s Day celebration with us at this month’s mixer! ♥

We proudly present our 2nd of 2 panels in 2018 of top talent agents on Wednesday, February 14th. This is a must for everyone in the entertainment industry, especially anyone serious about an acting career.

There’ll be a Q & A session following brief introductions, so bring your questions or think of one while listening to the speakers, get in line, and be seen & heard. And yes, of course bring your headshots & résumés! See instructions, below.

Last month we featured 4 of the best, and this month we’re featuring the rest, these 5:

☆ Jason Wasner, Managing Partner, Acclaim Talent

☆ Erin Franklin, Owner, Agence Talent

☆ Cynthia Robbins, Owner, BLVD Talent

☆ Claudia Ramon, Managing Agent, Condra Artista

☆ Romie Szal, Owner, K Hall Agency

Instructions for Headshots & Résumés: Anyone not currently represented is encouraged to bring at least 5 sets (1 for each talent agency), with the headshot & résumé stapled back-to-back, for placement at a designated table upon arrival, preferably prior to the beginning of the program, so that each agent can have your submission package to review when they leave.

Note New Venue: There’s usually parking aplenty, but beware rush hour traffic. While we’ve been north of the river for years, starting this year we’re taking a turn down south — but not far! After losing our mixer home suddenly twice in 2017, in 2018 we’re trying out the new Opal Divine’s Austin Grill inside the Best Western Plus @ 2200 S. IH35 in Austin, Texas 78704 on the IH35 frontage road just north of East Oltorf & East Live Oak.

♥ Looking forward to mixing & mingling and learning on Wednesday, February 14th! ♥

 

Last Month

We are extremely grateful to the panel of agents who so generously offered their time and insights to our packed (new!) house on Wednesday January 10th. We thank all of you! January’s panel featured agents & owners Jorge Elizondo of The Atherton Group (TAG), Heather Collier of Collier Talent, Tory Christopher of Tory Christopher Group, Jessica Hovind of Variant Talent.
