Part 14/14:
The panel's nuanced discussion provides both a critique of recent trends and a hope for the future—that filmmakers and storytellers might rediscover the core elements that make stories resonate, beyond the politics and spectacle.
Conclusion: An October Night Filled with Nostalgia, Critique, and Hope

Despite cynicism about the current state of Hollywood and media, there remains a shared belief that storytelling, when done well, endures—and perhaps, one day, will rise anew from the ashes of today’s cultural exhaustion.
