ABOUT MARY MAZZIO – DIRECTOR and PRODUCER

Mary Mazzio, an award-winning director, Olympian, and former law firm partner, is Founder
and CEO of 50 Eggs, an independent film production company. Mary wrote, directed and
produced the highly-acclaimed award-winning films, Lemonade Stories, Apple Pie, A Hero
for Daisy, and we are BlackRock. Her most recent project is TEN9EIGHT.

Mary’s interest in the subject of entrepreneurship was piqued after she made Lemonade Stories,
an award-winning film about extraordinary entrepreneurs and their mothers – featuring Richard
Branson, Arthur Blank, Russell Simmons, Tom Scott, and Kay Koplovitz among others. Mary’s first film, A Hero for Daisy, tells the story of Title IX pioneer and two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, who galvanized her rowing team to storm the Yale athletic director’s office in 1976, protesting the lack of athletic facilities for women. The film was hailed by The New York Times as a “landmark film,” was invited to screen at the Smithsonian, and is in thousands of classrooms across the country. This project was followed shortly by Apple Pie, an intimate film about star athletes and their moms. It serves as a tribute to the often-invisible strength, courage and power of mothers, a resounding theme in Mary’s projects.

Mazzio, an Olympic athlete (1992-Rowing), is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and
Georgetown Law School. A recipient of several awards including the Women’s Sports
Foundation Journalism Award, a Gracie Award, a Myra Sadker Gender Equity Curriculum
Award, a Henry Luce Foundation Fellowship (to Korea); the Mary Lyon Award (from Mount
Holyoke College); and a Rotary Foundation Graduate Fellowship (to France), Mary, formerly a
partner with the law firm of Brown Rudnick in Boston, MA, has served on a number of
Boards of Directors including Shackleton Schools (which serve high school students in danger of
failing in traditional high schools); Sojourner House (a homeless shelter); The Greater Boston
Youth Symphony Orchestras, The Head of the Charles Regatta, The National Rowing
Foundation, and World T.E.A.M Sports (supporting disabled athletes). She has also served on
the Advisory Board for The Rhode Island International Film Festival as well as serving as a
judge for the Sports Emmys. The Schlesinger Library at Harvard University has requested all of
Mazzio’s papers for its collection.

Mazzio has also been the keynote speaker at numerous events and ceremonies (both corporate
and educational) across the nation, including: the State of Nebraska Convention on Economic
Development; the NCAA Title IX Convention; The National Coalition of Girls’ Schools
Convention; the Women’s Sports Foundation Convention; the National Association of Collegiate
Women’s Athletic Administrators’ Convention; and USA Hockey’s Patty Kazmaier Awards
(celebrating the best collegiate hockey player in the country) as well as hundreds of events at
universities and high schools across the country. She is a frequent guest on NECN, speaking on
issues of the day. Mary is willing to disclose her height and true hair color – but refuses to
disclose her golf handicap, particularly after her performance at the Drew Bledsoe Celebrity Golf
Tournament where she participated as a celebrity (who nobody knew). She was, however,
heckled by real celebrities – NFL great Lynn Swann and producer Bobby Farrelly (There’s
Something About Mary) for having brand new golf shoes. She heckled back.

Her work has been supported by New Balance, Welch’s, BlackRock, Staples,
CVS, Babson College, Life Is Good, Nike, Clif Bar, The John Templeton Foundation, the
Kauffman Foundation, among others. Mary and her work have been featured in The New York
Times, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, Sports Illustrated, The Los Angeles
Times, Business Week, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, St. Paul Pioneer
Press, Forbes.com, MSNMoney.com, CNN Sunday Morning, CNN Headline News, NPR (On
Point, The Connection, It’s Only A Game), Oxygen, ESPN’s Sports Center, Baseball Tonight,
and Cold Pizza.

Mazzio resides in Massachusetts with her husband, Jay Manson, and two children. For more about her films, please visit: www.50eggs.com. Click here for her blog. Click here to follow Mary on Twitter.

ABOUT PAUL GATTUSO – EDITOR

Boston and NYC, editing commercials, music videos and cable shows. He opened Paul’s Place
