The STFC was founded in 1994 by Michael MacCambridge, former film critic of the Austin American-Statesman. The organization presented a set of awards each year for excellence in film, including a Lone Star Award for a film set or shot in the Lone Star State.[2] Founded with 21 members, the size of the organization decreased slightly each year. By 1996, film critic Joe Leydon had taken the role of Society president.[3] The group disbanded in 1998 after just four years of awards ceremonies.
