Leading figures such as Janet Yang, Padma Lakshmi, and Daniel Dae Kim convened to analyze the historic success of *Everything Everywhere All At Once* while exposing systemic financial barriers that have long hindered Asian American creators in Hollywood. The discussion highlighted the urgent need to dismantle the "model minority" myth and leverage collective economic power to fund independent production companies, moving beyond the limited "wealthy diaspora" narratives that currently dominate the market. By advocating for infrastructure built by the community itself and embracing diverse storytelling through film, music, and emerging technologies, the panel aims to transform a temporary surge in visibility into a permanent, inclusive industry standard.
