Meet Fraser
Fraser combines a rare blend of creative and business expertise as FluroBlack’s co-founder and Creative Director.
An award-winning creative producer of film, television, documentary and commercial content, Fraser started in the business more than 20 years ago, as a professional actor. His producing career began in 2006 with DEAD LETTERS (Telluride Film Festival), his first feature (ORPHANS & KINGDOMS) won numerous international awards and his first feature documentary (MCLAREN) directed by Roger Donaldson, was the highest grossing domestic Film at the New Zealand Box Office in 2017. To date he has produced or executive produced nine international feature documentaries, two scripted features, a major international television series and an edgy, award-winning web series.
Fraser has also co-produced, alongside his wife, Sal, two kick-ass daughters and a pretty serious addiction to cycling, surfing, skiing and basically anything fitness related.
Fraser graduated from Toi Whakaari - NZ Drama School (2001) and embarked on a successful career as an actor in Film, Television and Theatre. With 30+ screen acting credits to his name, Fraser has featured in some of New Zealand’s most significant drama, including a starring role as Archibald Baxter in the critically acclaimed tele-feature FIELD PUNISHMENT NO. 1 (2014.)
Fraser’s first feature, ORPHANS & KINGDOMS, played at festivals around the world, winning numerous awards including “Best Film” at the Anchorage Film Festival (2016) and was released theatrically in NZ with 4-star reviews. In 2016 he developed and produced, in a strategic partnership with Matthew Metcalfe of GFC Films, the feature documentary MCLAREN. Directed by Roger Donaldson, MCLAREN was the highest grossing New Zealand film at the NZ box office in 2017 and was released globally by Universal Pictures, Transmission Films and Gunpowder & Sky. He and Matthew then produced WAYNE, an official NZ/AUS co-production directed by Jeremy Sims, which premiered at the opening weekend of MIFF 2018 and was released in Australia and New Zealand by Transmission Films and in the US by Gunpowder & Sky.
Fraser is an Executive Producer on numerous feature documentaries with Universal Pictures and GFC Films: BORN RACER, directed by Bryn Evans; WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT A.I, directed by Leanne Pooley; DAWN RAID, directed by Oscar Kightley; MOTHERS OF THE REVOLUTION, directed by Briar March; BILLION DOLLAR HEIST, directed by Daniel Gordon and THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK, directed by Nathan Price. He is also an EP on feature film, WHINA, due for release early in 2022 and on THE DEAD LANDS –an 8x1hr action-adventure series collaboration between GFC Films, AMC-Shudder and TVNZ, nominated for “Best Drama” at the New Zealand TV Awards, 2020.
Fraser also has a BCom in Finance and Marketing from the University of Otago (1996) and is co-managing director, alongside his father John, of The St Clair Group - an investment company with interests in housing, media, property and tech, including St Clair Homes - one of New Zealand's leading manufactures of quality tiny homes. Fraser is a former Managing Director of award-winning, international mineral water brand, Waiwera, which he helped John build and eventually sell to a disreputable Russian oligarch. Yes, there is a film in there. No, the script is not quite ready to share just yet (smile).
