Barry Corbin

We’re hosting our 2nd Virtual Monthly Mixer featuring Guest Speaker Barry Corbin on Wednesday, December 8, 2021!

Barry on Horseback

A classically trained Shakespearean actor, Barry’s screen career was preceded by 20 years on a live stage in theater. He’s since become one of the most iconic character actors of the next 40 years, most recently making a guest appearance on the critically acclaimed hit television series Yellowstone on Paramount Plus. His recurring role as “Dale” in the Netflix series, The Ranch, that ended last year starring Sam Elliott & Ashton Kutcher, reunited him with Debra Winger from Urban Cowboy in which he made his film debut as “Uncle Bob” in 1979. Throughout the 80s to this day, he went on to perform in over 200 projects including War Games, Lonesome Dove, No Country for Old Men, Northern Exposure, The Closer, Modern Family, and the current Lone Star 911 filmed in Texas.

Barry’s fans from around the world love him just as much for his off-screen authenticity as they do his work on-screen. Come catch up with him with us and bring any questions for him to answer on Wednesday the 8th!

Zoom Room

Events in cyberspace come across differently from in-person get-togethers. So with that in mind, please:

  • Arrive with your name (not a random handle) and either live on camera or with your profile photo (not a random avatar) to be let in the “door” from the “waiting room” to assure others present that you’re likely a “real person”.
  • Avoid over-talking one another when more than one attendee is on the mic, and mute your mic unless it’s your turn to talk.
  • Don’t misbehave! While there’ll be some time before and after for mixing & networking among ourselves, the panel program will be recorded for posterity.
  • Use the chat feature for your questions. Post your questions for the host to the host, and your questions for the guest speakers to “everyone” ahead of time to help us know who’s up next and plans to ask what of which speaker or all of them during the Q & A.

Hosted by Tootie Hall and co-hosted by Barry Rogers & Judith Ruder, the Zoom Room will be open between 6:30-8:30PM, beginning with any announcements and getting situated. Then the program starts at 7PM.

Here’s where to virtually attend our NAMixer on Wednesday the 8th:

Last Month

Our first time back in 20 months, the Network Austin Mixer was pleased to present a Stunt Panel with speakers that kept attendees enthralled throughout the evening with tales of action and adventure, safety on the set, and so much more wisdom garnered from their collective decades in the biz. We’re so grateful to the panel of professionals who graced our virtual stage: Steve Wolf, Christian Stokes, Benjamin N. Reddic II, Marc Anthony Baca

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.
