Her award-winning and critically acclaimed 1999 film, A Hero for Daisy, is about Olympian Chris Ernst, who (in 1976) led her Yale University rowing team in a protest which ultimately enhanced athletic opportunities for women. This film, called "a landmark film" by The New York Times, aired nationwide on ESPN, Oxygen, and WTSN (Canada), was invited to screen at The Smithsonian, and is in thousands of classrooms across the nation. Mazzio followed up this film with Apple Pie in 2002 which aired on ESPN, to tremendous press and attention. She recently produced the award-winning Lemonade Stories which was the subject of a USA Today cover story and is being shown throughout the world on television and in classrooms, board rooms, business schools, and consulting firms.
