Adam Frazier

Storyteller. Digital content strategist. Entertainment obsessive.

I grew up in the heart of Appalachia, escaping the rural South's quiet grind through the galaxies of George Lucas, the panels of Stan Lee, the adventures of Steven Spielberg, and the nightmares of Stephen King. That escape turned into a lifelong pursuit: watching, writing, and writing about what I watch.

Today, I'm based in Charlotte, North Carolina—the undisputed pimento cheese capital of the world—where I bring that same narrative drive to digital content strategy and content writing.

As proof that someone, somewhere, understood the dread, the anger, the fear, and those brief flashes of joy and wonder that still break through the despair. That while generative-AI slop threatens to further erode culture, art made by human beings still fucking matters. That telling stories — especially difficult, unruly, inconvenient ones — remains an act of defiance.

Review: Mike Flanagan's 'Doctor Sleep' Film is Not to Be Overlooked

In 2011, Mike Flanagan wrote, edited, and directed his first feature, the low-budget indie horror Absentia. After the success of his Kickstarter-funded indie film, Flanagan got the opportunity to adapt his own 2006 short, Oculus: Chapter 3 – The Man with the Plan, as a feature. The Blumhouse-produced Oculus made $45 million at the box office on a $5 million budget, signifying Flanagan as a unique up-and-coming voice in the genre.

Review: Goddard's 'Bad Times at the El Royale' is Nothin' But a Good Time

Now, after most recently producing Netflix's Daredevil series and writing the screenplay for Ridley Scott's 2015 space film, The Martian, for which he earned Oscar and WGA nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Goddard is back in the director's chair for Bad Times at the El Royale, a spirited, subversive thriller steeped in '60s nostalgia (and paranoia) with an incredible cast and a killer soundtrack.
