Description

Marie Pizano is an author, filmmaker, producer, and passionate advocate for domestic violence survivors and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) awareness. As the founder of MVP3 Entertainment Group, she’s brought compelling stories to life—from serving as executive producer on the multi-award-winning documentary Momo: The Sam Giancana Story, to producing the feature film Shattered. In her memoir From Barefoot to Stilettos: It’s Not for Sissies, she reflects on her journey out of a high‑conflict divorce and emotional abuse toward healing, resilience, and purposeful storytelling. Through her media work—spanning film and community events—Marie highlights how authenticity, the arts, and community can empower individuals to transform adversity into their own “yes.”
