We’re looking forward to meeting you in person. A lot might have changed since you’ve last been in Austin or it might be your first time visiting us, so the team has put together a quick hospitality guide for you.
In addition to info about your hotel, we’ve included some key points of contact (for any questions) along with some great places to eat and/or drink nearby.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our phenomenal Filmmaker Hospitality Coordinator, Laura Ye, at laura.ye@aaafilmfest.org or (646) 267-0822.
