Steven Fischer is a two-time Emmy® Award nominated writer/producer who also shoots and edits. He is noted for artistic and socially conscious storytelling with strict attention to character, the human condition, and the emotional development of relationships. At age 17, Steven was drawing original cartoons freelance and for self-publication. His cartoon years were defined by his beloved comedy team, Steve & Bluey, published in two books, on television through TCI Communications, and as theatrical radio specials. Under the generous guidance of his mentor, producer Steve Melendez (Peanuts, Fred Basset, and the Emmy®-winning The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), Steven was introduced to the professional world of animation. His live action debut came in 1995, producing two promotional videos for University of Maryland Baltimore County. His credits now include: MPT/PBS, Nextel, TV Asia, National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, TimeWarner, and AmeriCorps. In 2007, Steven directed Mariska Hargitay in Freedom Dance, and in 2010, appeared on-camera with actor Brian Cox, jazz legend McCoy Tyner, cinematographer William Fraker, and many other internationally acclaimed artists as host of Old School New School, his personal study on creativity.
