SeriesFest is back in Denver — and Amber Ruffin will finally make it to Red Rocks (via thknwco)
During the year that comedian Amber Ruffin lived in Denver, she never visited Red Rocks. She did, however, make repeated pilgrimages to a slightly less indelible landmark. “For a year, all I did was do shows and eat at Cheesecake Factory. That’s all I did,” she says, pausing ever so briefly. “For a year.”SeriesFest Season 8, May 5-11. A week of screenings, parties and panels on episodic storytelling.

It was great shorthand.
In fact, there’s a little love and hate hardwired into the SeriesFest experience. If a pilot hooks you, you’re thrilled — and then you’re like, “Wait, what happens next? No, really; what happens?!” In 2019, Fries sat down with Netflix’s chief content officer, Ted Serandos, for one of the fest’s first-ever Innovation Talks. It was entertaining and illuminating — and might have had you gulping the streamer’s brand of Kool-Aid.
