ATX TV Festival really knows how to throw a party.In a weekend’s work, we sat in on conversations with the casts of “King of the Hill,” “The Gilded Age,” and “Landman,” plus a panel with Seth Meyers.
One of my favorite events at the festival, however, was a showcase where UT Austin students premiered pilot episodes they filmed and created over the last year. I have a feeling many future superstars are in this photo.
