We are indeed very lucky, folks! Let your associates know about this opportunity. We have as our Guest Speaker on October 8, 2014, Heather Page, Director of the Texas Film Commission! Ms. Page is extremely busy and she has offered her time to address the area’s Film/TV/Game industries, and we should all take advantage of this rare opportunity! In other words, be there or else…

Heather Page was appointed by Gov. Rick Perry, and he made an excellent choice. The commission supports Texas’ growing and diverse media industries, and helps increase Texas’ competitive position worldwide as a production destination.

Ms. Page is also an accomplished motion picture camerawoman, having worked on major feature films and television shows such as Revenge, Friday Night Lights, Armageddon, and The Green Mile. She is a former workforce-training administrator for the Texas Film Commission, where she helped implement the Workforce Training Program created in 2007 by the Texas Legislature. She is a board member of the Society of Camera Operators, chair of the International Cinematographers Guild Scholarship Fund, and co-founder and director of Beyond the Lights Celebrity Golf Classic.

Ms. Page received a bachelor’s degree in cinema from Denison University, a master’s degree in cinema studies from New York University, and a certificate in graduate cinematography studies from the American Film Institute.

This is a very important Mixer with very important information, so let others know. Heather Page is local, and we should all show her our support and appreciation, so join us on WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 8, 2014 @ Baby Acapulco’s – 5610 North IH-35, Austin TX 78751, and get the latest info concerning the Texas Film Incentives and plans for the future concerning these incentives and programs from the lady who knows, Heather Page, Director of the Texas Film Commission!

First Annual Talent Showcase

Baby A's

Baby Acapulco’s Central Location

We are presenting a Talent Showcase at the Network Austin Mixer on Wednesday September 10, 2014 at Baby A’s. This Mixer will be fun, inspirational, entertaining, spontaneous (no matter how much our entertainers practiced)… and a little crazy. We have singers, dancers, comedians, and monologists lined up. Altogether about 20 acts/performers are scheduled to appear, so we will start this Showcase at 6:30 PM instead of our usual 6:45 PM. Perhaps this Mixer should be considered the First Annual Network Austin Mixer Talent Showcase, as we plan to make this an annual event.

 

Last Month…

As we witnessed at our last Mixer on August 13, 2014, thanks to Shana Merlin (Founder of Merlin Works) and Ted Rutherford (Instructor at Merlin Works), spontaneity and improvisation can be learned via techniques. Shana & Ted had the audience laughing hysterically while participating in several such techniques, and we deeply appreciate the insights and inspiration they offered. Thank you, Shana & Ted! What a great Mixer it was… and we plan on having another very entertaining Mixer on Wednesday September 10, 2014!

 

So join us on WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10 at Baby A’s, have a cold margarita, network, meet new folks with like minds, enjoy a fun-filled evening with our attendees, and laugh with us at our First Annual Network Austin Mixer Talent Showcase!
