Denver is gearing up for SeriesFest 2024, an annual celebration that transforms the city into the epicentre of television for a week. The event, known for its spotlight on independent episodic TV, is set to dazzle attendees from May 1-5, primarily at the Sie Film Center, with a mix of screenings, panels, competitions, and parties. The festival will culminate in a grand closing night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, featuring Emmy Award-winning comedian Hasan Minhaj.

Driver’s diverse body of work, spanning from “Good Will Hunting” to “The Riches” and the forthcoming season of “Serpent Queen” on Starz, highlights her versatility and enduring appeal in the industry.
The festival will also recognize Shondaland, the powerhouse storytelling studio led by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, with the Impact in Television Award. This acknowledgement comes as Shondaland continues to support emerging female directors through a mentorship program initiated in 2018.
A special “Grey’s Anatomy” panel featuring showrunner Meg Marinis alongside actors James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, and Caterina Scorsone is set to provide fans with an inside look at the long-running series.
