Molly Ringwald, Danielle Brooks and Other Notable Creators to Converse on Cultural Experiences and Storytelling at Sundance

A unique conversation is set to take place during the upcoming Sundance Film Festival. Variety Culture & Storytelling will host a discussion exploring how cultural experiences shape creative work, in collaboration with World of Hyatt.

The event, taking place on January 25, will bring together prominent figures from various industries. Panelists include Molly Ringwald, known for her iconic roles in 'Sixteen Candles' and 'Pretty in Pink', as well as Danielle Brooks, who starred in the hit TV series 'Orange is the New Black'. Other notable creatives joining the conversation are Ali Ahn, Rain Spencer, and Dawn Porter.

These individuals will share their personal experiences of how cultural immersion influences their approach to character development, narrative design, and production. Their insights will offer a rare glimpse into the ways that environment and culture shape the art of storytelling.

Moderated by Matt Donnelly, Senior Entertainment & Media Writer at Variety, the discussion is expected to delve into thought-provoking questions about creativity, authenticity, and the intersection of culture and craft.

The event highlights how immersing oneself in different locations and cultures on set can influence not only the direction of a project but also our broader understanding of the world. "Our collaboration with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival reflects World of Hyatt's deep commitment to supporting creativity, storytelling, and the communities that bring culture to life," said Katie Casey, AVP of global marketing at Hyatt.

Tickets for the event are available through a link provided by Variety. The Sundance Film Festival is seen as a powerful platform for diverse voices, and this conversation will undoubtedly be an engaging exploration of cultural experiences in shaping creative work.
 
OMG I'm so stoked for this panel discussion! 🤩 It's gonna be dope to hear how these creatives draw from their own experiences growing up in different cultures and how that shapes their art. Molly Ringwald, Danielle Brooks, and the rest are like total icons in their industries, so it'll be amazing to get a glimpse into their creative processes 💡. I'm also loving how World of Hyatt is getting involved – supporting creativity and storytelling is so cool 🌟. Anyone else excited for Sundance? 😊
 
omg, a convo about how culture influences storytelling 🤔... like, what's next? A panel on how food affects plot twists 🍴? but seriously, it'll be cool to hear from these creators, esp Molly Ringwald, she was basically the queen of 80s teen flicks 💁‍♀️
 
🤔 I'm not sure how much insight we'll really get from these big names just chatting about their experiences... like what's the real takeaway here? Are they gonna spill some tea on the Hollywood machine or just talk shop? 🎬 And what's with the "thought-provoking questions" claim? Sounds like a PR spin to me. Sources, anyone? 📊
 
I'm really looking forward to watching that discussion between Molly Ringwald and Danielle Brooks at the Sundance Film Festival 🎥! It's so cool how they're gonna talk about how their cultural backgrounds influence their storytelling. I've always wondered, like, how do you take a story from somewhere else and make it your own? 💡 I think it's gonna be super insightful to hear from these talented creatives. I also love that Variety is teaming up with World of Hyatt to bring this conversation to life 🎉. It's all about celebrating the diversity of cultures and experiences in our stories, you know? 👏
 
idk about these types of panels, feel like they're just another way to make us think we're getting all the deets when really it's just a bunch of rich people talking about how culture affects their art 🤑. what I wanna see is some actual change, not just some fancy discussion with influencers and celebrities 🤔.
 
Man, I'm so stoked to hear about this panel discussion at Sundance! 🤩 It's gonna be awesome to see these creatives dive into how their cultural backgrounds shape their storytelling approaches. Molly Ringwald and Danielle Brooks are like total icons to me - it's mind-blowing that they're having a real conversation about the impact of culture on creativity.

I'm also loving that World of Hyatt is supporting this event, 'cause it's all about celebrating diverse voices and experiences. I mean, can you imagine how different our movies and TV shows would be if we didn't get to draw from so many different cultures? It'd be super limited, for sure.

But at the same time, I gotta ask... are we really seeing enough representation of underrepresented groups in Hollywood? Like, we need more people of color behind the camera and in leading roles, you know? So yeah, this panel sounds like a total game-changer - let's get some real conversations happening! 💖
 
I'm so down for events like this! 🤩 It's all about sharing our stories, you know? I was at this music festival last year where they had a panel on representation in indie rock... it was lit! 🎸 The artists spoke about how their cultural backgrounds influenced their sound and style. It's crazy to think that even the smallest things can shape who we are as creatives.

For me, growing up in a bilingual household has always been super influential in my writing. I'll be working on a story and suddenly I'll hear a phrase or use a word that reminds me of my abuela... it's like a connection is made. I think it's amazing that events like this Sundance panel can bring people together to talk about these kinds of experiences.

It's not always easy, though... sometimes you feel like your cultural perspective is being erased or distorted in the media. But at the same time, it's awesome to see creators using their platforms to tell new stories and share different voices. 🌟
 
idk why they gotta invite all these legendary ladies together 🤔👯‍♀️ but i guess its gonna be lit 🎉! molly ringwald and danielle brooks having a convo about how culture shapes their storytelling is gonna be EVERYTHING 💭📚 i mean, who better to spill the tea on this than these queens? 😂 anyway, im hyped for this event cuz it shows that people in creative industries actually care about each other's perspectives 🤝
 
I'm low-key surprised they're having this convo at Sundance 🤔. I mean, it's about time we talk about how culture influences our storytelling, but it feels kinda like a given. I've seen too many movies and shows where the "cultural immersion" thing is just used as an excuse to make something more 'edgy' or 'exotic'. We should be talking about how our surroundings shape us, not just using them as inspiration 🌎.

It'd be cool if they asked some tougher questions, like what happens when you're trying to tell someone's story who doesn't want it told? Or how do we balance authenticity with the pressure to make something marketable? Those are the kinds of conversations that'll really get us thinking about cultural experiences and storytelling. 🤔
 
I'm low-key stoked about this Sundance convo 🤩! It's so cool to see these amazing creators coming together to chat about how their cultural backgrounds shape their storytelling. I mean, Molly Ringwald and Danielle Brooks are total legends 🙌, and Ali Ahn, Rain Spencer, and Dawn Porter all bring such unique perspectives.

I think it's gonna be sick to hear them dive into how their experiences as people of color have influenced their approach to character development and narrative design. It's like, we don't always see the impact that culture has on our stories, so this convo is a total game-changer 📚💡

Plus, I love that World of Hyatt is backing this event – they're all about supporting creativity and community 💖. Tickets are available now, so I'm totes gonna cop mine ASAP 🎟️
