ENDO WHAT, LLC
SANTA ROSA BEACH, FLORIDA

She started thinking about how little things have changed since she first had symptoms at 16. What if a film could help stop the vicious cycle? A film to put power in the hands of women. Endo is a personal experience for Pato as he is Shannon's husband. He understands firsthand the experience of being a partner to someone living with the disease. On making the film, he says, "It's helped me understand both the personal nature of the disease and its pervasiveness. I've heard countless women from around the world repeat similar stories. It's incredible to me that they still have to convince not only doctors and other professionals, but their own family and friends. We're making this film to not only help empower women, but also help those around them better understand what they go through on a daily basis." Arix's work has aired on Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, Travel Channel, and History Channel. He started working in film part time, producing and directing commercials and short documentary style educational pieces. His production company AZA Productions, focuses on commercial work and film projects. AZA represents several brands, is currently the film company for SEASIDE® FL (location of the 1998 film ), and has several films currently in production. When Shannon asked Arix to join the Endo What team he was hesitant at first: "I knew it was a very heavy subject matter, one that I knew nothing about." After listening to the interview footage and doing research on the disease, he realized the confusion surrounding endometriosis. "There are too many women in the world being misinformed, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. Once you learn the truth about the disease and how it's handled in the medical community, it compels you to educate others. This disease affects everyone in the world, whether we realize it or not."
