Overview
Philanthropy is a form of altruism that consists of “private initiatives, for the public good, focusing on the quality of life”. Philanthropy contrasts with business initiatives, which are private initiatives for private good, focusing on material gain; and with government endeavors, which are public initiatives for the public good, e.g., focusing on the provision of public services. A person who practices philanthropy is a philanthropist.

- I started out as a filmmaker and came to the U.S. to go to film school.
- Making a film or a TV program is about creating a vision and getting others to share that vision, and getting others also to coordinate among themselves.
- I had to learn about fundraising and team management, and I also had to make a lot of trade-offs.
