First feedback

I've been viewing and discussing my submission video (Tribeca Gucci Fund) with a few people. People's responses have been revealing to me.

It's clear that most viewers understood the basic story. On its own this is a great relief - I was worried about such basic thing as clarity my narration in the video (after all, I do have a thik Russian accent).

The main point of the story is where viewers' opinions differed. I'm glad that people apply their sets of values and assumptions to this video.

I asked them a basic question: What's the main point to the story?
Here're some of the responses I got:

(1) Maksim's effort to raise funds for cancer survivors.
(2) His financial sacrifice (not getting a job right away).
(3) Maksim's pursuit of his dream to bike across he U.S.
(4) Maksim's ability to find his own, very unique path to success (eventually he did get a high-paying IT job, very similar to those of his classmates).
