SeriesFest

Founded in 2014 by sisters Randi and Kaily Kleiner, SeriesFest is a Denver-based festival devoted entirely to episodic television — a focus that sets it apart in a festival landscape dominated by feature film. Its independent pilot competition has launched real shows; its panels draw network executives, showrunners, and agents to a city that doesn’t typically host industry events. The festival is held each May at Sie FilmCenter in Denver’s Hilltop neighborhood, with opening night traditionally staged at Red Rocks Amphitheatre — a uniquely Coloradan piece of stagecraft that distinguishes SeriesFest from any other industry event in the country.
