Representatives from Hilton Hotels in Austin and F45 Training will be on hand to share how their hotel properties can partner with local and traveling filmmakers to reduce lodging costs and support tighter production budgets, and keeping us in tip top shape.
Who: Everyone! WIFT Austin members, allies, and the public community interested in film, television, and the media industry in general. Whether in front of the camera, or behind the camera, we have attendees in all roles.
What: A FREE, low-stress networking and mingling opportunity.
When: Thursday, July 17 from 7PM - 8:30PM
Where: Haymaker, 2310 Manor Road.
Why: In this industry, it's not just who you know, it's who knows you! We've created a space for you to meet other like-minded individuals in a no-pressure situation and we're proud to share that many personal and professional relationships have formed from our Third Thursday networking event.

About Haymaker
We’ve always loved the simple, neighborhood bars of the Midwest and northeast. They’re there to serve the neighborhood – any and all.
We took that accessible attitude and put it toward Haymaker. We serve simple, hearty food: Poutine and Comfort Sandwiches. Big, burly comfort sandwiches inspired by our favorite spots around the country. And tons of Craft Beer.
It’s comfortable. We have TVs if you like sports, but we’re not a sports bar.
We’re the kind of place you can go to a few times a week.
We’re every day, for everybody.
