SAG-AFTRA has been a part of the SeriesFest lineup since Season One, before the world had any idea of the future impact this festival would have on the landscape of television. For those of you who may not know, SeriesFest is a festival where television pilots go to be discovered. It is affectionately called the “Sundance of television,” attracting content creators from across the United States and around the globe.

The multifaceted partnership will connect entertainment creators with resources, education and opportunities to connect with industry visionaries Daveed Diggs, Rafael Casal, Sue Ann Pien, Patrick Macmanus, and Kelly Funke

Randi Kleiner felt like an 8-year-old at her birthday party as she fretted inside the Sie FilmCenter. It was 2015, the opening year of the SeriesFest TV festival and, as with a birthday party, there was no guarantee people were going to show up.

” ‘Is anyone actually coming?’ ” the festival co-creator recalled wondering as she unlocked the doors at the theater on East Colfax Avenue. “I was anxious.”

Not only did people show up that first year, they’ve also continued to blow past her expectations. Now in its 10th year, the nonprofit SeriesFest draws more than 12,000 attendees annually and commands a $2.7 million budget. Kleiner expects attendance to grow by another 2,000 this year, based on current ticket sales for the public event.
