Flix: Clips from a Filmmaker's Odyssey

features a series of short, semi-autobiographical stories based on Mick Benderoth's life in, out, and around the movie business. With names and a few details changed to protect the innocent, Mick tells it like it is filled with the agony and ecstasy of his travails on his tough ride to Hollywood. We're given a camera's eye view into moments in the life of a man as he grows from childhood up through his teen and adult years, as he experiences professional success, setbacks and love, and comes to terms with loss. Mick hopes these tales will inspire young filmmakers to pursue their dreams, reveling in every moment, going wherever it takes them in the realms of cinema and life. He hopes you enjoy and maybe learn a trick or two for avoiding the potholes on your own odyssey.
