Larissa Lam and Baldwin Chiu were featured panelists at WonderCon 2026 in Anaheim, CA, appearing on “Power of Color: The Discussion Continues,” a panel focused on diversity, representation, and the future of film and television.

During the discussion, Lam and Chiu emphasized the importance of authentic storytelling, encouraging creators to tell culturally specific stories that reflect real experiences and challenge stereotypes in Hollywood.

They also addressed the ongoing lack of lead characters of color in mainstream media, noting that while representation has improved, significant gaps remain in who gets to lead stories on screen.

Another key topic was film distribution for diverse creators. Lam and Chiu highlighted how access to distribution continues to be one of the biggest barriers for filmmakers of color, often limiting visibility and audience reach.
