James Andrew Fraser
Actor Writer Director Storyteller
A Creative Studio By James Andrew Fraser
I’m James Andrew Fraser — an award winning writer and actor turned director, building original stories through my creative studio, blacksheepgoodsheep.
My work blends heart, humor, and a touch of the uncanny — spanning intimate character studies, nostalgic coming-of-age stories, and dark, surreal dramas exploring identity and perception.
Each project is driven by character, cinematic world-building, and a distinct visual voice.
The Unseen Collection
The Unseen is a collection of stylized, character-driven short films exploring identity, perception, and the hidden forces shaping our lives. Shot with a raw, cinematic approach and grounded in emotional realism, each film captures a singular perspective — intimate, personal, and quietly surreal. Together, they form the foundation for larger stories, including the upcoming series Lion_Eyez, where these themes expand across multiple intersecting lives.
In Development
Dark Dramedy Musical | Short to Series Concept
Short Film Logline:
Will Boyland’s latest internet prank has him on the cusp of blowing up—but it’s not enough to keep his “It Girl” girlfriend. Spiraling into a surreal encounter, he accepts the offer of his dreams… but the cost may be too much to bear.
Series Logline:
A burned-out pop star, a megalomaniac billionaire, an aging gay host, and a wannabe influencer—each believes they’re the center of the story. But fame doesn’t play favorites. It isolates, weaponizes, and inevitably… collides. Through screens. Through scandal. Through violence. Some are destroyed. Some reborn. And some? Bleed for views.
The short film currently in pre production serves as the launchpad for the series.
