Screening Series

Network Austin Mixer’s first ever screening showcase debuts on Wednesday, March 11th at Opal Divine’s Austin Grill, as always free to attend and open to the public!

Central Texas is bursting with talent, skills, creators, and creative content, so this is our chance to watch what’s been or being produced in our local entertainment media industry. We’ll be screening 11 teasers, trailers, or sizzle reels of shorts & features and a television series.

And if all goes as planned, then for our pre-show we’ll be presenting a nationally & internationally award winning beautifully poignant movie.

The Network Austin Mixer strives to raise the caliber and increase opportunities of our local entertainment media community. In that spirit, come see what’s playing, support these filmmakers, and treat yourselves to an evening of viewing pleasure. Make the evening even more fun & productive by arriving early and/or staying late for all the networking where projects and jobs are born and furthered to fruition.

So bring your popcorn – or don’t since Opal Divine’s got great snacks and other food & drinks – and a bunch of friends to settle in and feast your eyes & ears and challenge your mind with our local community’s creative content on screen on March 11th @ Opal Divine’s Austin Grill!

Last Month

Our February NAMixer featured a stellar panel of casting directors – those who audition actors and are able to move them forward to the filmmakers. These guest speakers are kept quite busy with our bustling local industry, so in sincere gratitude we thank Brenda Ambrize of Ambrize Production Services, Vicky Boone of Vicky Boone Casting, Michael Druck of Michael Druck Casting, and our very own Donise L. Hardy, CSA of A Casting Place!

See photos here, and more mixer photos here.

Come on the 11th and bring a friend to network and enjoy the show. While there enjoy Opal Divine’s Happy Hour which lasts until 7, then $3 “Three for Texas” beers the rest of the evening. And don’t cook or go anywhere else for a meal or snacks because Opal’s offers a tasty and largely locally-sourced menu of goodies.

Call for Submissions

1st Annual Screening Series

The Network Austin Mixer presents our 1st Annual Screenings!

There’re just so many talented filmmakers in our midst, we figured it was about time to feature a few. So that’s what we’re doing at our March Mixer.

On the 2nd Wednesday evening next month we’ll be delighting our audience with screenings of your teasers & trailers. Projects must be based in Central Texas, and preference will be given to those for feature films, although an outstanding one for a short may slip in. We’re also inviting any for exceptional television or digital series, or even a remarkable video game.

Please exercise sensitivity when editing and choosing your video teaser or trailer for our viewing audience, which includes people of all ages and backgrounds. In other words, keep it clean.

There’s room in our program for 10-12 videos at about 5 minutes apiece, including introductions & descriptions for each.

Submit yours here by the end of this month, which this leap year falls on February 29th.

Then plan to be at our next NAMixer on Wednesday, March 11th — and invite all your friends to come watch!

Complete & send this form for your project’s teaser or trailer, and pass it along to others with great projects in the works.

Submissions Deadline: Saturday, February 29, 2020

As of this writing, this first year isn’t an official offsite SxSW event, but we’d like next year’s to be. So submit great videos, spread the word, get the buzz going, and let’s make this another amazing event to help put Central Texas entertainment media and our plethora of talented & skilled players on the worldwide map.
