As a director, writer, and show-runner on film, television, and commercial projects, Jeff Fisher keeps busy. His long list of current and past projects includes Killer Movie, with Paul Wesley & Kaley Cuoco & Leighton Meester; The Simple Life with Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie; My Christmas Love; Keeping Up With The Kardashians; The Real World; A Bachelor to Die For with Parker Young; MTV's Real World / Road Rules Challenge; Real Housewives of Atlanta; DanceLife with Jennifer Lopez; and 90 Day Fiance. Hallmark Channel's My Christmas Love, which Fisher brought in on time and under budget, was one of sixty movies the network released that year. The crowd-pleasing romantic comedy/musical blasted the competition, including the NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. My Christmas Love became Hallmark's highest-rated film of the year. Fisher began his production career as a production assistant on Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear. He parlayed that amazing experience into directing, writing, and producing gigs on some of the most successful reality T.V. hits of all time. Fisher's first feature film, Killer Movie starred Wesley, Cuoco, and Leighton Meester before the trio became household names on Vampire Diaries, Big Bang Theory, and Gossip Girl. Killer Movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, setting the stage for great things to come. Fisher was born in Hollywood, Florida. After his parents took him to see The Poseidon Adventure as a five-year-old at a revival theater, he told them he wanted to be a movie director. Fisher started making 8mm films in middle school and by the time he graduated with a degree in film from Columbia College Chicago, his student films Still a Kiss and Band of Gold won back-to-back 1st place Film Technique awards his senior year. After graduation, Fisher moved to Los Angeles where his music video Dreams I Dream won the grand prize in Billboard's national song contest for video production. From there, while working as a talent agent's assistant at International Creative Management, Fisher made two short films, Garage Sale, a Rom-com starring Claire Forlani & Nestor Carbonell, and Angels, Baby! a musical comedy starring Laura Leighton. The short films won audience awards and dramatic competitions at the Palm Springs, Chicago, Telluride, and Ft. Lauderdale International film festivals.
