About

Austin Film Meet is a support, networking and collaboration group bringing together local indie film and media makers of all types and skill levels in a fun, friendly atmosphere. We focus on raising skill levels and professionalism through increased awareness, education and experience. We encourage a sense of community and a pay-it-forward attitude within our group. We believe in helping each other help each other. By working together, we accomplish more, faster and better. We’ve been called “the group that gets things done” and “an AA for indie filmmaking junkies”. We are producers, directors, actors, crew, artists, promoters, writers, photographers, cinematographers, designers, grips, gaffers, sound mixers & recordists, sound designers, musicians, composers, coordinators, and more! It takes a village to raise a film!

Our History

Austin Film Meet originally started as a Meetup.com group called Austin Filmmakers Meetup. The group was started by a man named simply “E” but when he had to move out of state due to a family emergency, Mike Rembis stepped up to the plate. A little later, Mike also moved away from Austin leaving the group’s leadership to H.Cherdon, who immediately began making changes for the better. In just a few short months, she grew the mixer from a drinking social with a handful of people to a large community of power networkers.
