Mick Benderoth is a New York filmmaker, TV commercial director, Hollywood screenwriter, and rock & roll musician. He spent twenty years in Hollywood as a screenwriter before returning to New York to start a television commercial production company. His wife Nancy produced while Mick directed. The company grew exponentially, becoming one of the most successful TV commercial boutiques in the city.

After ten years, they sold the company and moved to their house in East Hampton where Mick jumped into a new field, the theater. He wrote plays while Nancy returned to her first love, oil painting. Mick's play, "Brotherhood," was performed in regional theaters.

He produced and edited the Warner Bros. documentary, Malcolm X, which was nominated for an Academy Award, later becoming Spike Lee's acclaimed dramatic film Malcom X starring Denzel Washington.

A veteran rock & roller from the 50's, Mick is still writing tunes and jamming with his grandson Griffin. His band Silverback's music is available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.
