After enrolling at the American Film Institute to pursue feature film work, his thesis film Sen-Zen Ni-Na was nominated for an Academy Award in the short film category in 1991.
Pfister's other credits include director Billy Morrissette's Scotland,PA, which appeared in competition at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. He has also worked on such features as Rhapsody In Bloom, Rustin, A Kid In Aladdin's Palace, Stranger By Night and the telefeature Breakfast With Einstein. Pfister's next feature will be Lisa Cholodenko's Laurel Canyon starring Frances McDormand and Christian Bale.
