Since its founding fifteen years ago by local film advocates, and legendary actor and Fort Worth native Bill Paxton, the Lone Star Film Society has provided film education programs for hundreds of students interested in filmmaking in the Fort Worth area.

The society accomplishes this mission through year-round screenings, film education workshops, and community collaboration that includes the annual Lone Star Film Festival.

The Lone Star Film Festival has grown into a premier destination for filmmakers, producers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts, with the honor of being ranked as a “Top 50 Film Festival” by MovieMaker Magazine.
