Austin Film Festival

Austin Film Festival 2015

Look who else is coming to speak for a few minutes at our Network Austin Mixer in October:

Representatives from the Austin Film Festival will stop by prior to our program to fill us in on this year’s festival taking place later this month beginning on October 29th to

  • tell us about the festival and answer questions
  • sign up any volunteers (replete with volunteer perks)
  • handout informational materials, and
  • maybe have a special surprise for us!

 

October is Halloween Month, but this is not a trick, it’s a treat!

 

We’re grateful to the Austin Film Festival for presenting programs for us in years past, such as in October 2013, and for taking a few moments from their busy schedules—what with the festival happening this month!— to invite us to take part in what has become a local tradition that’s come to garner worldwide notoriety.

 

Please join us on Wednesday, October 14th for our packed program featuring Jason Teresi of Breakdown Services, and enjoy our honored guests beforehand from the Austin Film Festival:

Pato Elizondo, Transportation Coordinator

Cam Ray, Volunteer Coordinator

Samantha Levine, Theater Operations Manager

 

Come, learn, mix & mingle, and network, and invite your friends to this Wednesday’s Network Austin Mixer featuring the Austin Film Festival and Breakdown Services’ Jason Teresi!

Find us on Facebook and invite your friends.

Please carpool and leave in time to arrive early. If Baby Acapulco’s parking lot is full:

  • You may park at the Super 8 Motel (just south of Baby A’s) for $8. Be sure to pay the desk person at Super 8 Motel when you park there so your vehicle doesn’t get towed and DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF DUMPSTERS!
  • If you drive south another 2 blocks, there is on-the-street parking available.

Mixing & Networking begin @ 6PM, then the Speaker starts @ 6:45.

Jason Konopisos

Jason Konopisos was raised since age of 3 in Houston Texas. Shortly after attending the University of Dallas, where he studied Existential-Phenomenology, he began performing stand up comedy. Stand up led to acting and writing and Jason wrote his first screenplay at 24. Now 10 years later Jason has authored over 30 feature screenplays, several TV pilots and a number of plays. Currently, three films he has written are in production Irish Pride (dev.), Forgotten Sons (pre.) and Tia Juana (dev.). Jason was recently tapped to write the Feature film adaptation of a popular TV series, which will go into production 2014 (series name not currently public). Additionally, Jason has appeared in over 30 films/tv series as an actor. His company Uberflukt Films, along with Remy Carter, has produced a number of features and looks to start filming on two features in 2014.

After the Mixer…

We extend our deepest thanks to Jason Konopisos for being our Guest Speaker on December 11! He shared his insights about numerous aspects of the buziness, and as a writer, director, actor and producer, he knows them! He answered numerous questions, and both his passion and his knowledge were evident in every word he spoke. Thanks, Jason! A great presentation!
