Steven Fischer is a two-time Emmy Award® nominated writer/director recognized for artistic and socially conscious storytelling. Baltimore Magazine described Silence of Falling Leaves, his retelling of the Katyn Forest Massacre, as “an art film trapped inside a commercial,” and called it, “haunting and surreal”. Jayln Henton at PBS called Freedom Dance, the animated retelling of one man’s unbelievable escape from Communism to freedom, “…an amazing portrait of a truly original artist.” And The Baltimore Sun praised Life at 1/125 of a Second, his avant-garde portrait of celebrated photographer Carl Clark (shot entirely with a stills camera), calling it “remarkably lifelike”.
In 2010, Fischer's contributions to the arts were publicly honored by The Daily Record, who named him on their list of Influential Marylanders.
