Stage 32 Meetups : Austin Film Festival 2014 by Melissa Mitchell

Hey Melissa - great idea! Our Founder & CEO, RB, is usually at AFF, so looking forward to seeing what you come up with so we can get a 32 meetup event going :)

Hi Melissa, I'll be in Austin! Thanks for being the social coordinator. Looking forward to meeting folks in person!

We'll definitely help make this event a great one!

Thanks for this. I'm looking for someone who might want to split the cost of a hotel room. Let me know.

I have a feature drama 2nd Rounder and just booked my trip Thurs to Sun! Can't wait! @Howard, hope to see you there. My pages were on your podcast w/ Hilliard! Totally down for Stage 32 meet-up.

Bruce, what a coinkydink (to paraphrase some movie I can't remember the name of). Congrats, Bruce. I'm going to try to go to the whole festival. It will be great to see you and the others.

Hey Melissa. I'm definitely planning on running one down there this year. Before you set a date/time, hang tight. I'm working on some space and perks for all members attending. In the meantime, all those attending the fest are more than welcome to attend. Just ring in right here.

Tell me datails

As soon as I have em, I'll post em, Bettye. Probably be one of the first two nights of the fest.

DO IT. I am primarily VOICE OVERS. So it must include that aspect of the biz for me. I teach. Want a workshop perhaps? ADR?

I'll be there for the entire festival/conference. I'd love to meet up with other Stage 32s.

I've made all my reservations and I'm all set. I will be staying at the Holiday Inn Townlake, near Lady Bird Lake. I'm going from Oct 22 to Oct 30.

Awesome, Howard. Which badge did you end up getting? I'm staying at the Omni. Bought the Conference Badge and will be there from Oct 23-27. Where is everyone else staying?

Schedule is up. So many good panels happening at the same time. Gonna have to make some tough choices :( http://www.austinfilmfestival.com/festivalandconference/conference/2014-...

I got the badge they offered, which gives me the conference and lets me see any movie I want. I haven't checked the conference that closely yet. Need to start doing that.

I 'll be there Oct 22 - Oct 30. I'm actually going the route of poor screenwriter and staying at the Firehouse Hostel directly across from The Driskill. I've never stayed in a hostel so it should be interesting.

I am such a nerd...I have already created a spreadsheet of the panels and movies I want to attend. I bought a conference badge. Is anyone going to the Film and Food party the night before the beginning of the AFF? I'll be there.

Yes, I should be at the party.

I will be there... with bells on.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Oh...get ready 32ers... Stage 32 has something special in store for all of you at the Austin Film Festival. Keep your Friday open...more details to come :)

Can't wait!

Less than 3 weeks!! So many good panels, having trouble choosing :( Which panel(s) are you guys most looking forward to?

Script to Screen: Contagion looks great...but anything with Marti Noxin. She is one of my inspirations. I am pitching on Friday and am terrified. I've never pitched before to anyone.

I'm doing one with Jenny Lumet. I was related to her for a few years, but we've never met - so I'm looking forward to that (but not as much as the stage 32 meet up)!

Oh.... get ready Austin Film Festival attendees...we have something really cool brewing.... Stay tuned!!

Yay!

I'm staying tuned!!! Two weeks from today I will be in lovely Austin. Can't wait!

For fans of Go Into The Story, Scott Meyers is also looking to do a GITS meetup on Sunday, 4-6pm at a local bar. http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2014/10/whos-going-to-the-2014-austin-...

Sounds great! I'm sitting tight because Stage 32 staffers have said they would arrange a meet-up.

We'll be announcing shortly...things just got buttoned up today :)

Very cool!

Yeah! Looking forward to hearing.

The Stage 32 Soiree is set for Friday, 10/24 starting at 6pm at Handlebar on the rooftop patio, hosted by our very own Stage 32 Founder & CEO, Richard Botto! If you're a Stage 32 member, your first drink is on us! To read more info and to RSVP, click here: https://www.stage32.com/events See y'all in Austin!!

Oh, we'll be Soiree-ing...

Thanks, Julie for you guys setting this up. I RSVPed. I can't wait to meet everyone in person.

I second Eve's comment! See y'all in a week :)

Thanks to the Stage 32 crew for arranging this! So looking forward to it!

This was a fun event with nice people! Enjoying my swag bag. Thanks to Stage 32!

How about those awesome swag bags, and the playground rides at that cool bar! #Stage32Rocks

Thanks to Stage 32 for a great soiree. Perfect venue. Met some great folks. Drank many libations. Still bummed, though, that I neglected to snag a swag bag. Next year :)

I missed the swag bag also!

The event was a blast. Thanks to all who attended and even more so to those who shared such kind sentiments regarding the efforts of the Stage 32 staff. Made my night. Already looking forward to next year.
