Hi, I’m Stephanie. I am an Emmy-winning producer and director. I love telling stories and creating premium video content. Below are some samples of my work.

Director: Kwaku Alston
Line Producer and Post Producer: Stephanie Fischette
Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter
In 2015, The Hollywood Reporter partnered with SundanceTV to bring the popular roundtable series featuring the biggest names in entertainment to television. In this series, stars and filmmakers would discuss their current award-winning projects and also dive deep into talks about the craft and stories from their previous works and the lessons they learned along the way in the business and in their daily lives.
Between 2015-2020, I produced 77 episodes for broadcast. The series was nominated for Daytime Emmys in 2017, 2019, and 2021
Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter | Drama Actresses
Originally scheduled to film in April 2020, the series had to pivot to filming remotely in June with talent all over the world, in different time zones, and various internet speeds. I educated myself quickly on the best methods to capture all talent safely with high production value with a limited budget and personnel. I produced 7 episodes and directed 5 for this season featuring talent from acclaimed television series.
The Drama Actresses group was a particularly moving conversation with powerhouse women.

Honored
This is the first independent short film that I had written, directed and produced. I was fortunate to cast and work with Elizabeth Moss as the lead actor, and collaborate with a great crew. This film was released in 2007 and premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival.
This is the only footage I have archived is lo-resolution, so please forgive the image quality.
