Steven Thomas Fischer (born June 10, 1972) is an American film director and producer. Fischer is an Emmy Award nominated filmmaker who works primarily on documentaries. Among his many accolades, Fischer's work has been honored by the Directors Guild of America, The New York Festivals, the CINE Golden Eagle Awards, and Marquis Who's Who in Entertainment. He was accepted into the Directors Guild of America at age 24 with the production of his first nationally distributed promotional documentary, This is CLEARCorps, for and about AmeriCorps. Fischer's creative films have touched many themes and genres, from the animated Wally the Green Monster cartoons that appeared on Score Card, a sports magazine show produced by noted New York television producer Mort Kasman (Sports Legends with Tom Seaver, Lorne Greene's World of Amazing Animals) to Silence of Falling Leaves, Fischer's foreign language tribute to Polish POWs murdered in World War II during the Katyn Forest Massacre.
In 2014, the ultra luxury mega yacht SeaDream (SeaDream Yacht Club) invited Fischer as a guest speaker on creativity on a Transatlantic crossing from San Juan, Puerto Rico to London.
