With Jen Yamato, film reporter for?The Los Angeles Times,serving as moderator, director Lin (left), whose latest film is “Star Trek Beyond,” and cast members Sung Kang, Roger Fan, Parry Shen, Karin Anna Cheung and Aaron Takahashi reflected on what has changed in their career paths and the state of diversity in the media.

Other conference topics included “Directing Horror and Genre,” “Editing for Animation and Stop Motion,” “The future of Storytelling in the Digital Space,” “Media and Social Change,” “Impact and Visibility on the Digital Frontier and Beyond,” “Women on Top: Meet the creative Forces Behind Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Queen of the South and Queen Sugar,” and “Independent Filmmaking in the Era of Digital Distribution” (at the Korean Cultural Center).
