Mason Bendewald

Raised in New York City's Greenwich Village and trained as an actor at the High School of Performing Arts, Mason had an early appreciation for the arts. While in New York, Mason worked on such TV shows as Saturday Night Live, Days Of Our Lives and America's Most Wanted. It was on these sets that he also gained an appreciation for what goes on behind the camera. Having always enjoyed filmmaking, Mason set his sights on starting a production company. He left New York to attend The Art Institute of Philadelphia where he met his business partner, Don Argott. Together they formed Mini Mace Pro Pictures, a professional film and video production company. In addition to his work on Nice Shot, Mason has produced four short independent films with filmmakers from Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles. He is the co-founder and Executive Producer of the Reject Filmfest, an alternative film festival that received enthusiastic reviews from Time, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, NPR Radio and the Associated Press, to name a few. In 2000 Mason was named one of Philadelphia Style Magazine's "100 Philadelphians To Watch". In late 2002, he relocated his team to Hollywood forming Mega Mace creative, production, post & efx, and DVDworx. While managing both companies, he stil focuses his energy on writing and directing. He recently completed Vesting, a short film about one woman's loss of house, family and mind.
