Michael Fiore is an award-winning NYC-based Producer/Director and the creative force behind Fiore Media Group — a hybrid production company and feature film sales agency.
Michael Fiore – Producer/Co-Director
Driven by a passion for bold, human-centered storytelling, Fiore has produced and directed acclaimed documentaries, including "Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World" (Prime), hailed by CNN as a “must-see,” and "Floyd Norman: An Animated Life" (Netflix, HBO Max, TCM, Criterion Channel). Both films were released theatrically across North America and Europe under the Fiore Media Group banner. Fiore is currently producing a follow-up to Netflix’s acclaimed docu-series "Bad Vegan.”

Recognized with the Disney Legend award in 2007, Norman at 90 years old continues to inspire through his art, mentorship, and advocacy for the arts.
