Mary Beth has dedicated her life to telling compelling stories that reveal truth and bring hope to everyone she meets. A friend’s story brought Mary Beth into the world of documentary filmmaking.

The film was an official selection for the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival and the Buffalo International Film Festival, and won \"Best Documentary Short Film\" at the deadCenter Film Festival, the Hill Country Film Festival and Filmfestival Kitzbuehel. In 2016, Mary Beth associate produced MAMA RWANDA, which chronicles two Rwandan women-entrepreneurs who prevailed over extreme poverty in the shadow of genocide, and executive produced TOWER, which presents the story of the heroes that emerged from the 1966 shootings from the University of Texas tower and uses a unique combination of archival footage and rotoscopic animation.
