Filmakers Mark Maiocco and Michael Reinwald have been making feature films and documentaries together since 1995. They left NYU with a small amount of money and headed 180 miles south to Atlantic City where they parlayed $3700 into $41,500. With this money they wrote, produced, directed and edited their first feature film Treading Water which won the Brooklyn Film Festival 1998 Grand Prize.  With no time to rest, they jumped into their next project, a short called Goin to Make me Some Rent which won the POV Magazine Dog Run Festival.
In early 1999 they ventured into documentary work, first with The Mullet Uncut which took over a year to complete. While on short haitus from The Mullet Uncut, they produced a full length documentary titled Time Spent which was shot on location at the Essex County Correctional Center in Middleton Massachusettes. Time Spent has since been distributed.  Michael Reinwald has spent time in Los Angeles and New York as a producer and now resides in Europe.  Mark Maiocco hasn't been seen or heard from since.
