HBO Max’s pandemic-delayed Friends: The Reunion and Channel 4/Peacock hit We Are Lady Parts were the big winners Monday as prizes were handed out at the Banff Media Festival’s Rockie Awards International Program Competition.

“A few of those were like ‘Stranger Things,'” an audience member said, following one screening of SXSW’s first-ever Independent Episodics section. Designed to highlight independent television pilots, web series, and proof-of-concept pitches, the inaugural section played in full on Sunday, split into two screenings of 12 total projects.
In the first section, two pilots featured young lead actors dealing with supernatural forces, and at least one paid homage to a blockbuster film.
“Beast,” created by Ben Strang, tells the story of a young boy who lost his father, Christopher Press, at sea. Most people, including his mother, think Chris is long gone, one of many sailors to disappear near Smith Island, but his son keeps tracking the tides,...
