Biography

F. Scott Frazier is an American screenwriter who first embarked on his career in the video game industry. After completing high school, he began working for a video game company, where he advanced to the role of producer. During this time, he contributed to titles such as Tetris Evolution (2007), Fairly OddParents: Breakin’ da Rules (2004), Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge (2004), and The Granstream Saga (1997). Driven by his passion for storytelling, Frazier took a bold leap: he quit his full-time day job around 2009 to pursue screenwriting full-time. Within eight to nine months, through networking and persistence, one of his scripts—The Numbers Station—caught the attention of a manager at H2F Entertainment, ultimately leading to the sale of the project. His breakout script, The Numbers Station (2013), was his first to be produced, marking his transition from video games to film. Frazier went on to contribute the story for Collide (2016) and co-executive produced it. He also wrote the screenplay for xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017). His earlier writing career was marked by rapid success; he was recognised on The Black List for his script Line of Sight, and by late 2012 had sold six scripts in about two years. Frazier’s writing process has been described as disciplined and rigorous: he typically writes four or five hours in the morning, pauses for lunch and a walk, then spends another three to four hours rewriting. He emphasises starting with a rough draft quickly, then meticulously refining each scene and line of dialogue. He comes from a creative background—his father was a television writer in the 1970s and 1980s. He is married.
