Storytelling 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.

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.
