Tribeca Talk Creator Economy Spotlight - Eddie Huang + Dan Adler
Tribeca NOW
| 45 MINUTESStorytelling as World-Building
Writer, restaurateur, filmmaker, and cultural commentator Eddie Huang joins us for a conversation about storytelling as world-building and why restaurants, films, books, fashion, and media are all part of the same creative language. From building Baohaus into a cultural phenomenon to adapting Fresh Off the Boat for television and directing Boogie, Eddie has consistently turned personal perspective into expansive cultural storytelling.
Dan Adler is a staff writer at Vanity Fair covering culture, celebrity, and more. His work has spanned profiles of influential characters and connectors, investigations at the fringes of fame, and the criminal trials of Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. His reporting for VF on Justin Bieber’s former megachurch, Hillsong, was the basis for the FX docuseries The Secrets of Hillsong. He was born in Brooklyn and lives in Manhattan.
Together, the conversation will explore how specificity creates mainstream resonance, the tension between creative control and collaboration, and why audiences are increasingly drawn to people who build worlds instead of simply producing content.
Expect an honest conversation on identity, authorship, culture-making, and the evolving relationship between Hollywood and Creator-led storytelling.
