An extraordinary new event in the Bee Cave/Lakeway area, the Inaugural Lake Travis Film Festival, will be held February 27-March 1, 2020. After a year of identifying volunteers and engaging community members to create this important event, the festival is now gearing up for submissions from filmmakers and screenwriters across the globe on June 1st, 2019. Using the online submission platform Filmmaker Freeway (https:// filmfreeway.com/LakeTravisFilmFestival) submissions will be open on June 1st and there are early bird discounts for submitting early.

While we hope to showcase up and coming talent from the global stage, we know there’s a lot of good filmmaking happening right here in Central Texas too. In addition to film we especially hope to spotlight music with our music video category and might have local bands play at our event. Lake Travis is a family area and LTFF will have a special track of screening just for young filmmakers. LTFF volunteers will spend part of their summer watching videos and reading scripts. Once the programming and screenwriting competition committees have compiled their lists, the submitters will be invited to the area and we’ll put together our program. It’s not too late for new volunteers. “We are looking for volunteers in the community to help us and you don’t need any special qualifications. We need logistics people as well as film screeners and people willing to help plan events,” says festival executive director, Kat Albert. The most recent information will always be on our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LTFF78738/ or you can check out the web site at www.laketravisfilmfestival.com and remember to check out our Instagram too.

Bee Cave Friends of the Parks Fun Run

Bee Cave Friends of the Parks Foundation, along with LTHS students Elizabeth Daves and Sarah Sowell, organized a fun run on April 20th at the Bee Cave Central Park. Daves and Sowell needed a project for their Advanced Placement Environmental Sciences class, so contacted the Bee Cave Parks and Recreation Department for help. Participants of all ages and abilities completed the 5k run along the park paths. Many families came out to run together. "It was a great event all around", states Lanie Marcotte, Executive Assistant with the Bee Caves Parks and Rec Department. "We had great weather, great volunteers and great sponsors. We wish to thank Nitro, Aquatic Ms Fit, Juice Plus, AusTex Med Spa, StretchZone and P Terry's." Proceeds benefitted the Bee Cave Friends of the Parks Foundation, a newly formed group whose mission is to encourage community participation to improve and maintain Lakeway's City Parks and Greenbelts. More photos of the event can be seen on the FB page at Bee Cave Friends of the Park Foundation.
