About Me
Hi! Thanks for checking out my page! My name is Jessica Fisher, and here is a little snippet about me and my life: I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. My family's tradition of 'family Friday movie nights' heavily influenced my love for film and my passion for writing.
​
Creating stories that bring family and friends together has always been a significant driving force behind the content I write and develop. Stop motion animation is my chosen medium of storytelling because it allows me to transform ideas from my imagination into tangible, physical forms. Building characters and worlds with my own hands—especially using materials like needle-felted wool—adds a unique softness and texture that stop-motion captures beautifully. I deeply enjoy creating new worlds with fun characters that inspire others to think outside of the box and share tales that shape young minds.
​
I am incredibly thankful for all the opportunities I have been given and will continue to follow my passion and venture into the film and animation industry!
