Biography

Eli Fischer is a Houston based independent filmmaker. Working as a director, writer, and cinematographer, he is a adamant lover of all things movies. His first short film "Desires! And the Temptations to Follow!" is a noir inspired fantasy that incorporates images and videos from the 1927 film "Metropolis" in order to tell the story of a man who becomes obsessed with an angelic figure he sees in his dream. The film won Best Short at the River Oaks Theater Short Film Competition in 2022. He quickly followed that up by co-directing another short film for NASA's Cinespace competition titled "Apollo: The Space Dog" which chronicles a dog's attempt to break the monotony of his life and journey into space. This film premiered at the River Oaks Theater in Houston in 2024. After the release of "Apollo: The Space Dog" on YouTube, he turned his attention to directing a concert film. "Heart of a Bull" is the latest film released from Eli and it is a concert film documenting a performance from Houston artist Orpheus Von Doom. The film has had a few local screenings and is currently available online. He is a long time collaborator with Inwood Park Production, working as a cinematographer, writer, and producer. He has worked on over nine short films, an anthology film, and they are currently working on another feature. Continuing to work on his projects, there is a slate of three connected romance shorts set to release late 2025/early 2026.
