Sometimes it takes us FOREVER to post stuff because we go from fest to fest to fest and we honestly could be more “on it” frankly. So, FINALLY, here are the photos from the Austin-adjacent Lake Travis Film Festival’s 2021 Filmmaker Awards Red Carpet as well as some shots from the awards themselves and some Filmmaker Award winners happily posing with their Lake Travis Film Festival kaleidoscope awards.
I keep thinking about this “little fest that could”. It was such an enjoyable one, I really can’t wait for their 3rd outing in 2022. Here are the photos..
So, we started with a photo call prior to the awards ceremony for the filmmakers who couldn’t make the red carpet the previous Thursday:
