About

“I’m passionate about telling meaningful stories that bring light and hope to the screen and page.”

Ian Frayne was raised in Canada on the unceded territory of the Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, Matsqui and Katzie nations. He is a descendent of Celtic and Germanic settler-colonials and seeks a career in storytelling. Ian holds an English degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic and is pursuing an MA at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He values curiosity, diligent work, and socially conscious endeavours. He aspires to share his curious mind and open heart while learning to be an active ally.

His career began in community theatre and lead him to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat (2016) and Beauty and the Beast (2017) at WGSS. Ian’s professional TV credits include Sacred Lies (2019), Riverdale (2020), and Animal Control (2023), along with indie community films as an actor, writer, and producer. Most notably; Ian starred in Nightswimming (2021), co-wrote during RNGfest (2022), and is the creative lead of the Kingkiller Fanfilms (2020-2025). His work in the indie film world led him to become a founding member of the Sundar Prize Film Festival, where he currently works as a shortlist juror and coordinator of the Student&Youth Luminaries program.

He loves speaking with trees, drinking from bowls, and his family for their unconditional inspiration.
