Sarah Fischer
Manager: Chris Deckard - Fictional Entity
Sarah Fischer grew up in a small, rural, Illinois town, where everyone knew everyone and the most popular club in high school was the Future Farmers of America. Fischer knew early that such a town would not hold her imagination, and so she set off to explore the world, from Antarctica to Wales, trying to figure out where she was going and what to do when she got there.
​
A winding road to entertainment saw her coach soccer with the LA Galaxy, beat cancer, teach English as a foreign language, and work in artificial intelligence.
​
She's also worked as an assistant on MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD, HELSTROM, OBI-WAN KENOBI, and POKER FACE, where she co-wrote and produced Episode 7, "The Future of the Sport."
Fischer has advanced in a number of fellowships. She was a fellow in the 2022 RespectAbility lab, as well as the 2019 Writers' Assistant network workshop. She was a semifinalist for NBCUniversal's Emerging Writers fellowship, a finalist for the Walt Disney Television Writing Program, and a finalist for the Sundance/Sloan fellowship. She has placed in screenplay competitions with the PAGE Awards, Final Draft's Big Break, Scriptapalooza, ScreenCraft, Script2Comic, and the Austin Film Festival.
