Wow! More than 50 film folks showed up at Dave & Buster's on Monday 9/21 with most of them being people who are new to AFM. Unfortunately, that means a lot of "regulars" missed out on meeting some amazing people. Good thing we meet every week.
Apparently, posting a notice about our event on locally-run website ShortFilmTexas.com made a huge difference. Lots of filmmakers who had never heard of AFM before came out to see what all the talk is about.
I guess that just proves it. If you advertise, they will come after all.
With that said, I highly recommend posting your film cast and crew notices on Short Film Texas, possibly the best film news resource in the state.

All About the Mega-Mixer
It's not everyday that three of Austin's best film groups get together for a mixer. Last Monday, Sept 14, more than 60 people attended the Mega-Mixer with Austin Film Meet, Reel Women and NALIP (National Association of Latino Independent Producers).
Networking is essential for a successful career in the entertainment industries, so it looks like we'll be doing more multi-group mixers. On Monday, Oct 5, we'll be having another Mega-Mixer with Reel Women and AustinActors.net at Stompin' Grounds Lounge on South Congress (3801 S Congress Ave, 78704).

In the meantime, better dig up those business cards so you can promote yourself and all your talents. I know, I know, you're not very good selling yourself and you don't like the whole shmoozing/networking thing. That's what everyone experiences. Now, get over it already, get yourself some snazzy cards, and get your butt out to the next Mega-Mixer.
Something is always better than nothing, but nothing beats a lasting impression. Here's some great ideas to inspire you…
