The SCAD's aTVFest will feature some big TV names promoting shows such as Kim Cattrell ("Sex and the City"), Malcolm Jamal-Warner ("The Resident") and Eric McCormick ("Will & Grace").

It will run Thursday Feb. 27 through Saturday, Feb. 29.

Cattrall is starring in a mid-season show on Fox called “Filthy Rich.” The summary: When Eugene Monreaux, the patriarch of a wealthy Southern family famed for creating a Christian television network, allegedly dies in a plane crash, he leaves his wife, Margaret (Cattrell), to take charge of the family business. She will receive an Icon Award.

Eric McCormick, who is concluding his second run on "Will & Grace," will receive the Impact Award.

Tom Payne (AMC's "The Walking Dead") is now on Fox's new show "Prodigal Son" where he plays a criminal psychologist who knows how killers think and how their minds work. His father, by the way, was a serial killer. 
There will be "In Conversation" panels with Jamal-Warner and others including McCormick, Hunter Schafer ( "Euphoria") , Miss J Alexander ("America's Next Top Model") and both "Grown-ish" costume designer Michelle Cole and actress Yara Shahidi.

Shafer is receiving a Discovery Award and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” is getting the Rising Star Cast Award.

Entertainment Weekly is the media partner and helped curate the programming.

There are day passes (Friday and Saturday already sold out) and  a $200 festival pass.
