Mary Mazzio's new film, TEN9EIGHT, recently profiled in the New York Times, opened on November 13th, 2009 in partnership with AMC Theatres and premiered on February 7th, 2010 on BET.

Hailed by US Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, as wonderful and inspirational, this stunning new film chronicles the remarkable stories of several inner city teens who learn to become entrepreneurs and participate in the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge. What they learn in the process profoundly changes their lives and destinies.
