Jason Zone Fisher has been performing since the day he was born. Jason grew up in the public spotlight due to his father’s budding political career. It was on the stage, however, that Jason began to shine on his own. At the age of 9, Jason landed one of the lead roles in the Cleveland Playhouse’s production of “Conversations with My Father.” After several other theatrical and film roles, Jason was host of an Emmy-nominated NBC kids show in Cleveland about the Cleveland Browns football team, called “Browns Blitz.” Jason was able to combine his love for performance and sports with journalism. This led him to attend the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University, where he was a Broadcast Journalism major. Following graduation, Jason partnered with friend John Intrater to form their own production company, In The Zone Productions. With Jason’s father, Lee Fisher, running for Lt. Governor of the state of Ohio, Jason and John decided to document one of the most-watched races in country from a true insider’s perspective in their first feature documentary film, “Swing State.” They are currently in post production.

John Intrater, 22, was born and raised in the Bay Area where he started to utilize his skills in black and white photography.

He would then attend the Young Filmmakers Academy in Los Angeles, CA where he would get his first glimpse of film and video production. In 2002, John attended Syracuse University, at the school of Visual and Performing Arts, where he would study Advertising Design.

Together, the two would Co-Direct and Produce the film. Using his knowledge and education of photography, film and design, John is able to combined all these skills into one creative thought process.
