Kat Albert’s Lake Travis Film Festival has A LOT of ambitions.
And founded and directed by a woman who is a filmmaker herself, those ambitions have an eye toward what filmmakers want and hope for in a film festival. And one of those things is getting attention for themselves and their films.
Therefore, in its second year, LTFF literally rolled out the red carpet. In fact, while Lake Travis is adjacent to Austin, this was the first red carpet that city has seen since the pandemic had shut things down as far as in-person tests were concerned last year.
And Austin has got a couple other film festivals that people pay attention to from what we hear.
But it was the Lake Travis Film Festival that led the way in 2021. And as you will see, MANY filmmakers answered the call, and found their way to the beautiful Austin neighbor to get their red carpet on…
