“The Nantucket Film Festival was the setting for the first private screening of the amazing ‘Mighty Mary’ documentary that scripts the extraordinarily ground-breaking all-women’s team, led by the peerless Dawn Riley, in the 1995 America’s Cup” – Magnus Wheatly, Rule 69
“The Nantucket Film Festival served as the launching pad for the documentary Mighty Mary, Mary Mazzio’s documentary portrait of the first all-women’s sailing team to compete for the sport’s world-famous America’s Cup. Narrated by Hugh Jackman and Elizabeth Banks, the film received the Maria Mitchell Visionary Award presented to a female filmmaker who demonstrates vision and innovation.” – Ethan Alter, Gold Derby
“Some stories demand to be told — and Mighty Mary is one of them. We are honored to partner with Mary Mazzio, Allison Abner, Grant Hill and Skydance Sports in bringing this film to audiences,” said Sejin Croninger, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Acquisitions, Paramount Pictures. “It is at once a breathtaking sports documentary and a testament to the women who refused to let the boundaries of their sport define them.” – Deadline
“A Georgetown Law graduate and former Olympic rower who competed for the United States in the 1992 Olympics, Mazzio has long been drawn to stories that intersect elite competition with broader social issues.” – Scuttlebutt Sailing News
