Judd Apatow announced Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story on October 16, a documentary made with Neil Berkley that follows the comedian for three years. Apatow says he paid Bamford $500 before filming began, and that the film covers her OCD and intrusive thoughts, deaths in her family and the Altadena fires. The discussion so far is about documentary craft and honesty. No release date has been given.
