ABSTRACT
Nick Fraser Since 1997, Nick Fraser has been series editor of BBC Four’s acclaimed international documentary strand, Storyville, which each year presents up to 50 outstanding films from all over the world. Roughly a third of the films are bought as completed films, while the rest are “prebought” or commissioned jointly with other broadcasters. (For example, Storyville co-produced So Much So Fast. The film’s credits read: “A production of West City Films in association with WGBH, ZDF/ARTE, BBC, with support from TV2/Danmark.” In the United States, the film aired on the PBS series Frontline; in the United Kingdom, it aired on Storyville.)
Prior to joining the BBC, Nick was a commissioning editor at Channel Four and operated his own production company, Panoptic Productions. A former print journalist, he continues to be a contributing editor at Harper’s magazine and is the author of books including Evita: The Real Life of Eva Peron (written with Marysa Navarra), The Voice of Modern Hatred, and in 2006, The Importance of Being Eton.
