Beautiful Maida! Thanks for the wisdom and well written summary of an EP. I recently took on this mantle and was trying to explain the role I am taking on to non film types. You have really helped me with these words. BTW we met when while I was working at MVFF. I stepped up to help them launch DocLands. That was 10 years ago. Happy to learn of the trajectory of your career. All the best to you as you ponder your next steps. Janis Plotkin
So good!!! YES on FUNNANCE, love that term. Our donors and investors on LILLY (now streaming on Netflic) were so amazing. They threw many parties, premieres, covered travel costs, covered award costs, and added additional donations once we moved into novel forms of distribution and marketing. I am so grateful to every single one of them. It's as if they're read your article! Thank you.
Thank you, Rachel! I love that you have a band of gung-ho EPs on the team, and appreciate you sharing that perspective here. It’s important we highlight the good!
This is a great post that will be valuable to so many. Thank you for building on the DPA's definition and both rounding it out and deepening it. And thank you for EP'ing so many films in the past and setting out stones and a path for others to follow!
Chock full of great advice, as always, Maida. Thank you!
thank you!!
Excellently detailed and personal! Thank you Maida
