Austin Action Fest & Market - Talking the Business of Show Business
Yeah, we are THAT festival! We celebrate the overlooked group of films, actors and crew that take risks others will not. We educate and connect the creators to business resources and experts and we share these creations with enthusiastic viewers. We know that in the world of showbusiness, ”If you can’t do Business there is no Show” so we focus on having conversations that deal with the part of filmmaking that makes sure you don’t get fleeced and get paid!
