Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story (2026)
Blurring the line between performance and personal crisis, comedian Maria Bamford turns her mental health journey into material that’s riotously funny and ultimately inspiring. What emerges is a portrait of an artist transforming vulnerability into creative strength through honesty.
Directors: Judd Apatow, Neil Berkeley.
