About Me

Hello! My name is Danny Fisher, Founder of Fishers of Men Creations. Fishers of Men Creations is a Catholic movie making company. I currently work at Conception Abbey, a Benedictine Monastery in northwest Missouri, as the Outreach and Formation Coordinator for our retreat house here. I served as a FOCUS missionary for a total of 2.5 years at the University of Georgia and then as the Team Director at Texas Tech University. I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelor in Arts. I enjoy praying, acting, writing, playing football, grilling, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I am passionate about spreading the truth of the gospel to the world through the art of filmmaking and am beginning that pursuit with my first movie, The Man Who Fathered Christ.

The Man Who Fathered Christ

“Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of our Lord’s graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint.” -St. Peter Julian EymardI am making a movie about this man, St. Joseph. I am confident that for one, the Lord wants the world and the Church to know in depth about the life of St. Joseph. And two, the Lord wants to revolutionize the film industry and media by using it for His glory since that is what the youth is consuming. Like the saints while they were on earth, we need to use what the world is using to reach people, but for the greater glory of God.Sister Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries, prophesied that the final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan would be over marriage and family. We obviously see that being attacked right now. Why is this battle so key? Because society follows the family. And by God’s very design, the head of the family is the father. Fathers will do a great deal in determining the state of the world and the Church today. Spreading devotion to St. Joseph will bring the world into where the Church began, that is, the Holy Family. The movie will give viewers a deep insight of what the lives of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph looked like as a family. It will be a story of the perfect example of family life.
