. Per WGA rules, writers are not allowed to make “promotional appearances” at film festivals or at “For Your Consideration” Emmy events. Already, a number of FYC showcases have either been canceled, or continued on but with just a screening, no panel, due to the strike.
“Since its inception, SeriesFest has been proud to celebrate the art of episodic storytelling and support the work of all the incredibly deserving creatives who bring stories to our festival,” said Randi Kleiner, the co-founder and CEO of SeriesFest. “Through our programs, we have always honored the critical and remarkable work of writers and we stand in solidarity with them. We are hopeful that they will get the terms they deserve.
Also previously announced for Saturday: Netflix’s new animated comedy “Mulligan,” with producer Robert Carlock and showrunner Sam Means. The show will still be screened, but Carlock and Means won’t be in attendance. Previously announced events on Monday include the world premiere of Amazon Freevee’s “Primo,” which will still screen — but without the panel featuring Serrano and stars Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Christina Vidal.
