As usual, The Austin Filmmakers have been meeting every week. At our last meeting we watched a rough cut of Mr. One-Note, which looks very nice. I plan to do the color correction once it’s edited. We need to shoot a few more pick-up shots, but nothing difficult.
We’ve been experimenting new places and times to meet. We’ve been looking for a location in north Austin to counterbalance the Summermoon Coffee House that’s more in the south. We tried meeting at the 34th Street Cafe, which is a very nice resaurant, but not a good place to hold a meeting. Last night we tried Sherlocks Pub, which worked out nicely. We’ve also been alternating meeting Mondays and Tuesdays to accomdate those who have commitments on either of those days. The next meetup is on Monday at 6pm at the south location, Summermoon Coffee House.
A week ago I attended the Network Austin Mixer, which was a great place to meet people who are working in Austin. I called one of the core members before, and have been playing phone tag ever since. Ray Rosales and my friends from Humblebee joined me at the mixer. While I was there, Brandy from Set It Off! told me I should attend the next networking event for Reel Women on Monday at Opal Divine’s, which was also a blast.
I’ve signed up for many online services that connect employers and job-seekers, but there’s no way I’m going to be able to keep track of them all. The latest one I registered for is Nextcat, which I signed up offering DP, grip, electrical, and PA skills. The problem with these services is that they will become outdated quickly, and I will probably forget to update or delete all of them. It’s pretty scary knowing all that my personal information is all over the place. It’s a consequence of the digital age, I guess.
