This is such an honest and compelling post Maida. I love how you have always approached giving with curiosity and how important your curious mind has been to the development of the Stupski Foundation approach. Thank you for taking the time to share all of this, and give us the opportunity to learn alongside you!
This is such a thoughtful and courageous piece, Maida.
“The money isn’t yours” is a powerful frame, and I really appreciate the honesty with which you traced your own thinking rather than pretending you had arrived at a neat conclusion.
The questions at the end are compelling, and somehow beautifully right ones. I will be curious to see how and if they shift.
These are the words that stand out for me and I hope this doesn’t change: “especially for the kind of films the market alone wouldn’t resource.” Most all of the resources for funding in independent documentary are earmarked for social justice/saving the world. Almost none for Art.
