MIGHTY MARY

Director Mary Mazzio captures the seismic moment when the first all-female crew entered the fiercely competitive world of the America’s Cup, the legendary sailing competition long considered the exclusive domain of men. Aboard the Mighty Mary, a team of pioneers, world-class sailors, and Olympians set out to do more than compete: they challenged 144 years of tradition and forced the sailing establishment to reckon with its assumptions about who belonged on the water. Dismissed by some as a publicity stunt, the crew proved the naysayers wrong, becoming a formidable presence and a powerful emblem of change. MIGHTY MARY is a rousing story of courage, teamwork, and persistence, revealing how one bold act can ripple outward to shift culture, expand possibility, and open doors for generations to come.

In 1997, Mystelle Brabbée joined the team and today serves as the Executive Director. NFF continues to thrive each year by always remaining true to its mission, to promote the cultural awareness and appreciation of the art of screenwriting and storytelling.
