The 2022 Lonestar Award is a new award the Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival is presenting this year. There are many folks who work behind the scenes in the business side of the entertainment industry who rarely receive any recognition for their contribution. Our festival sees and understands the value of these core folks who keep the entertainment industry moving forward.

This year, the first Lonestar Award, will be awarded to a very important person who has helped to shape the film and TV industry in Texas... Rick Ferguson.
