"I hope that you participate in society,” comedian Maria Bamford in a new documentary about her. “You don’t have to do it well. It’s okay if you do it badly.”⁠ ⁠ Bamford has written a memoir, starred in her own semi-autobiographical television series, and spent decades crafting stand-up comedy about her own life—in excruciatingly honest detail. ⁠ ⁠ Now she’s the subject of a documentary by Judd Apatow, Paralyzed By Hope: The Maria Bamford Story. This raises a question: Why make a documentary about someone who is already an undisputed expert at telling their own story?⁠ ⁠ Full story by HR Smith at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ #portland #mariabamford #comedy #juddapatow
