St. Charles filmmaker makes splash at Austin Lift-Off Film Festival

Jess Elfring-Roberts, a 2004 St. Charles North graduate, has her first short film premiering in April film festival.

The Austin Lift-Off Film Festival presents the online screening of the post-apocalyptic film, "The Supply Run."

Directed, written, and produced by Jess Elfring-Roberts, this film follows Diane as she embarks on a supply run, leaving Max and Chloe to fend for themselves in a world that has been ravaged by an unknown disaster. Starring Mal Merpi, Adam Rebora, and Ali Pepper, "The Supply Run" is a must-see for fans of the genre.

As a grass-roots independent film, "The Supply Run" represents the importance of supporting first-time filmmakers and the development of filmmaking talent.

It is through festivals like Austin Lift-Off that these artists are given a platform to showcase their work and reach a wider audience.
