I am sure you heard Will’s name recently in the local Charlotte papers. He was written up several times due to his production of the 48 Hour Film Festival. He participated in this phenomenal event last year. So this year he decided he would take on the job of producing the event.
Will has made it his ambition to make Charlotte the center of local filmmakers creating national and international films. His desire to promote filmmakers here in Charlotte is broad and far reaching.
So next year look for the 48 Hour Film Festival to be even more exciting than this year, and after viewing the quality of the films this year, that is really saying something. If Will has his way, Charlotte will be on the map as one of the most noticed and recognized film communities in the country.
Will moved to Charlotte in 1998 and married Mandy a few years later. They were expecting their first child at the time of this interview, and I am sure the new arrival is here by now. I cannot say whether it was a boy or girl because they chose not to find out before the birth. To us, that says a lot about who they are.
Also I get the impression they are naturalistic in the lifestyle they lead. Will says they hike and love to be outside. They were married on the Appalachian Trail.
Will’s goal is to create seminars for film makers and show the project’s films in different locations around Charlotte during the next twelve months to keep the momentum going before he produces next year’s 48 Hour Film Project. Every year the films presented will be more powerful than the last.
Will Fisher is an amazing young man and really quite brilliant. We expect to hear a lot from him now and in the future. In a transplant to Charlotte, Will is just what we like to see. For more information contact Charlotte@48hourfilm.com
