SCAD TVfest 2026: Legends, Love Stories, and Impactful Television

Every year, SCAD TVfest feels like a homecoming, but this year? This year was extra special.

The 14th Annual SCAD TVfest reminded me exactly why this is my favorite time of the year. From inspiring conversations to unforgettable moments with the people who shape the stories we love, the festival once again delivered magic.

One of the most meaningful highlights for me was meeting Jeff Probst. As a longtime Survivor fan, this moment truly felt full circle. Survivor has been a constant in my life for years, so having the opportunity to chat with him about Survivor 50 was honestly surreal. It was one of those moments where fandom and real life beautifully collide, and I don’t take that lightly at all.


This year, I also had the incredible opportunity to interview the “Hallmark’s Power of Love” panel, which brought together such a dynamic and beloved group of creatives. The panel featured:

Matthew Lawrence (Second Chance Love, Boy Meets World)
Chilli (Second Chance Love, TLC)
Alison Sweeney (Executive Producer, Romance at Hope Ranch, Days of Our Lives)
Evan Roderick (Because of Cupid, Spinning Out)

The conversation was filled with warmth, intention, and genuine insight into storytelling centered on love, growth, and second chances, everything Hallmark does so well.

 

I also had the pleasure of interviewing Jalyn Hall and Precious Way from NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.

 

I was also able to interview Brandon Mendez Homer and LaĆ«titia Hollard from HBO Max’s The Pitt. 



Moments like these are why SCAD TVfest means so much to me. It’s not just about celebrity sightings or red carpets. It’s about storytelling, representation, creativity, and community. It’s about being in rooms where passion meets purpose and leaving inspired to keep telling stories of my own. Once again, SCAD TVfest reminded me why I look forward to this event all year long. And if this year was any indication, the magic is only getting bigger.
