Chris Fiore

Filmmaker/Artist Chris Fiore, born 1959 in Norfolk, Virginia, and received his BFA in painting and film from Antioch College in 1984. In the late 80’s Fiore was one of the founders of the Zone, an artist collective occupying an abandoned warehouse at 104 South 4th St, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Fiore showed at KOAP gallery in the early 90’s and in 1995 directed the underground documentary Trip and Go Naked, winner of the Excellence in Sexual Theater award at Arlenes Grocery Picture Show. He went on to direct the feature documentary Backstage for Miramax, a behind the scenes look at Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life Tour. Fiore’s 2016 documentary, Goodwoman, tells the story of Debra Goodman, an activist brutally arrested for filming the NYPD. Featured in several film festivals, Goodwoman won the Grand Jury Award For Best Documentary at the 2016 LA Film Invasion.

Fiore’s first feature film script, The Utopia Virus, was a finalist in the Final Draft Big Break Competition, garnering him representation and a Hollywood roller coaster ride as the directors Darron Aronofsky, Tony Scott, and Renny Harlin considered making the film. Fiore wrote the first draft of the 2008 Wassup Obama ad, directed by Charles Stone, and winner of a Cannes Lion.
