Fisher’s talent, dedication, creativity and attention to detail have made him a favorite of actors, writers and producers. His long list of current and past projects includes: Killer Movie, with Paul Wesley & Kaley Cuoco; The Simple Life with Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie; My Christmas Love, with Meredith Hagner; Keeping Up With The Kardashians; MTV’s Real World / Road Rules Challenge; Killer Reality starring Parker Young; The Springer Hustle with Jerry Springer; Real Housewives of Atlanta; Being Bobby Brown; DanceLife with Jennifer Lopez; and many more. Fisher began his production career as a production assistant on Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear. He parlayed that amazing experience into directing, writing and producing gigs on some of the most successful reality T.V. hits of all time. Fisher's first feature film, Killer Movie starred Wesley, Cuoco and Leighton Meester before the trio became household names on Vampire Diaries, Big Bang Theory and Gossip Girl. Killer Movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, setting the stage for great things to come. Hallmark Channel’s My Christmas Love, which Fisher brought in on time and under budget, was one of nineteen films released by the network in December 2016. The crowd-pleasing romantic comedy / musical blasted the competition, including the NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. Most impressively, My Christmas Love now ranks as Hallmark's highest rated film of 2016. Fisher was born in Hollywood, Florida. After his parents took him to see “The Poseidon Adventure” at a revival theater, he left the theater telling them he wanted to be a movie director. Fisher started making short films in middle school and by the time he graduated with a degree in film from Columbia College Chicago, his student films “Still a Kiss” and “Band of Gold” won back to back first place Film Technique awards his senior year. After graduation, Fisher moved to Los Angeles where his spec music video “Dreams I Dream” won first place in Billboard Magazine National Song Contest for Video Production. From there, while working as a talent agent’s assistant at International Creative Management, Fisher made two short films: “Garage Sale” a romantic comedy starring Claire Forlani and Nestor Carbonell, written by Cormac and Marianne Wibberley (who went on to write among other mega-hits, “National Treasure”) and “Angels, Baby!” a musical comedy starring Laura Leighton. The short films won audience awards and dramatic competitions at the Palm Springs, Chicago, Telluride and Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festivals. In his “spare” time, Fisher is an adjunct professor at Emory University in Atlanta, helping eager students learn the art of screenwriting and how to survive in Hollywood. Fisher is currently directing television projects and developing his next feature film, which he describes as “a musical mash-up of The Proposal, Bewitched and Grease.” Website: http://www.jefffisherdirector.com/ .

    St Michael’s Primary School Newsletter 3–5 Chapel Lane, Tel: 9865 1600 Fax: 9865 1699 Baulkham Hills Email: [email protected] Issue 1 Term 1 Week 2 Thursday 6 February 2020 From the Principal Dear Parents Welcome to St Michael’s A very warm welcome to our new school year, which promises to be a very exciting one. I hope all families enjoyed a safe and relaxing holiday. It was wonderful to see so many smiling and eager faces arrive last week, particularly our new Kindergarten students and our new children in Years 1-6. A very special welcome to all our families. Being a parent is a special job. One of the many aspects of parenthood is that you are your child’s first teacher. In joining St Michael’s school community you enter into partnership with your child’s teacher as together you share a common goal—a happy and successful school year for your child. Parents and teachers are partners in helping each child develop to their full potential. I encourage all parents to become involved in the life of the school where at all possible. Teachers welcome helpers in the classroom, sporting events and excursions. Please note at any time you enter school grounds during the day, you need to report to the school office first. You must not go directly to classrooms. A reminder that all parents who wish to assist in any capacity at the school need to have completed the online Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta child protection training and undertaking.

    PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS BY G. Scott Campbell Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ______________________________ Chairperson Committee members* _____________________________* _____________________________* _____________________________* _____________________________* Date defended ___________________ The Dissertation Committee for G. Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
