CS Fischer

CS 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 girls' varsity soccer at a Catholic high school, beat cancer, teach English as a foreign language, and work in artificial intelligence.

​

She writes hour-long dramas about women in traditionally male spaces, and about the weight of expectation, with a dash of exploration and curiosity thrown in.

​

Fischer has worked in production and development at OddLot Entertainment, HeyDay Films, the Kennedy/Marshall Company, and USA Network. She's also worked as an assistant on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Helstrom, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Poker Face.

 

Fischer has advanced in a number of fellowships. She was a fellow in the 2022 RespectAbility Lab. 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 was part of the 2019 Writers' Assistant Network workshop, and has placed in screenplay competitions with the PAGE Awards, Final Draft's Big Break, Scriptapalooza, ScreenCraft, and the Austin Film Festival.
