The FISHER Queens: The Making of 3 Champions

The Fisher Queens - "The making of three Champions".

A documentary about three British snooker champions Mandy Fisher, Allison Fisher and Kelly Fisher - and they’re not related!

We need your help to bring this documentary to life! Our goal is to raise $40,000. We need the money to pay for camera equipment, travel, accommodation and post production. We will be filming Mandy and Kelly in the UK and Allison in Singapore where she is coaching the National women’s team for the South East Asia Games. We will also go to China to film Allison and Kelly playing in a World ranking tournament. However, most of the budget will go into post production like editing, clearances to use old and new footage of the girls playing and for the use of music. So, please give generously as we would love to share their stories but cannot do this without your help.

Below is a little about Julie's Edwards who is the director of the project.

A bit about the women we want you to know...

MANDY FISHER not only won the1984 women’s Professional world snooker championship, and the biggest purse at that time, but also founded the World Ladies Billiards and Snooker Association bringing awareness to women's snooker on a national level. In the late 80s and early 90s and while still at the top of her game, Mandy oversaw a transformation in fortunes when women's snooker gained television coverage. As a result, major finals were played in professional arenas, including The Crucible Theatre which is widely regarded as the "home of snooker". Because of Mandy's groundwork Allison and Kelly continue to enjoyed global success, while current sensation Reanne Evans has recently been invited to play in the 2015 world snooker Championship.

ALLISON FISHER started playing snooker when she was 7. She won her first world title at the age of 17, and won over 80 national titles and 11 world Snooker titles. She was the first woman to enter the men's snooker rankings. In 1996, feeling she had gone as far as she could in her snooker career, she moved to the United States to play on the American 9-ball circuit. There, Allison dominated,mirroring her Snooker career winning over 75 professional titles including 4 World titles and gaining the sponsorship and the financial rewards she deserved.

KELLY FISHER started playing pool in her parent's pub in Yorkshire and took up snooker when she was 13. By the age of 21, she had been ranked number 1 for two consecutive seasons going on to win three successive World Ladies' Snooker Championships between 1998 and 2000, and won the title again in 2002 and 2003. When the sport's governing body withdrew its support for the women's game in 2003, abandoning all major women's tournaments, Kelly moved to the United States to play on the Women's Professional Billiard Association (WPBA) 9-ball circuit, joining fellow former women's snooker player Allison Fisher. Kelly has since become the World's number 1 player and has won World 9 and 10 ball titles as well as other major titles Worldwide including the Amway Cup and the China Open, and like Allison, Kelly continues to be a force to be reckoned with.
