Greenroom Films has provided shooting and editing services for Palm Beach Pictures on many projects. I have personally worked with Jesse Frazer in Australia and overseas. It has always been an enjoyable and rewarding creative collaboration.
As a DOP he has extensive cinematic experience and is a skilled camera operator. He is an insightful editor able to create a visual narrative and has a detailed technical knowledge of post production. He is a filmmaker who understands the film making process. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for your production. I look forward to continuing to making films with Jesse.

It’s the most coveted achievement in surfing, to be fully stoked surrounded by a walls and roof of water.
Working with Jesse achieves that same level of stoke. I can rely that no mission how ever grand, or ambitious will be taken with the same level of professionalism, dedication and ownership of the outcome.
I had a particularly ambitious, out of the box goal on a rceent film, had I not been introduced to Jesse it may not have seen the light of day.
I look forward to working with Jesse into the future and figuring out new and exciting ways to challenge him.
David WildProdcuer/ Host/ Writer/ THE WILD LIFE Jesse Frazer and I have worked together over the last few decades. First meeting whilst I was studying Cinematography at AFTRS and Jesse was our Film Focus Puller.
Jesse progressed to become a Cinematographer in his own right. His drive has always been second to none, shooting well crafted, ergonomic pictures that entertain.
A notable campaign in 2016, took us to a remote part of Mozambique in Africa. We were a two man team surrounded by guns and with limited resources. Jesse had to call on all his extensive travel experience and nous to capture beautiful imagery in often trying and dangerous conditions. It was a once in a lifetime experience we shall never forget!
And we made it out alive
I trust Jesse and would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a solid and reliable collaborator

Paul BerryDirector of Photograpahy I’ve known and worked with Jesse for a couple of decades. Recently we worked together on a Nepali Feature film called PURPLA. A horror film shot in western sydney. Jesse worked as gaffer and was instrumental in creating the look of the film. As an experienced director/ DP his input was second to none. His lighting truck and equipment was top notch.

Zak Shukla - Director/ ProducerChippen Lane Creative I’ve worked with Jesse at Greenroom Films for over 15 years, and he’s a pro at delivering shot ready content that makes the edit seamless. He understands post inside out, calibrates with precision, and adapts to new workflows effortlessly. His efficiency on set and in post was key across 50 episodes of a travel series for Corona and countless music videos on which I edited for Greenroom Films. Jesse’s technical expertise and instinct for storytelling make him an asset to any production.
Jay HallFreelance Post Producer, Editor Jesse Frazer is a great friend and colleague. We have worked together for almost 20 years on some challenging but amazing TV and creative projects. As a Commercial DOP, Director and Editor Jesse is the real deal! No challenge is too great! When Jesse is on board he will make it happen. Working up against Network time lines you need to deliver, with Jesse we somehow always made it happen. What makes him special is he can walk off a Feature Set with his 3 Tonne Lighting Truck and step into his Edit Suite ready to tackle what ever the Post Production demands. Jesse and myself have worked on TV productions that run 6 days a week for 6-9 months straight and require resilience and continual creative energy. I would back Jesse on any production big or small and know he is going to nail it!
Chris Herd Freelance Director/ DOP'Find Your Voice' (feature), 'Be Here Now', 'A shore Thing', 'The Shire','10 years Younger in 10 Days' Jesse is a unique choice for Gaffer on my projects. Not only does he bring years of experience but also the eye of a talented DOP to set.
Jesse is my first call when I need lighting on set. He and his team are professional and fast. He always goes the extra mile and is a huge asset on set.
I look forward to working with him on future projects.
Sam CollinsDirector of Photography ’I've known and worked with Jesse for well over 35 years. We first met when he was an attachment on a doco we were shooting in Tamworth. A few years later he was doing camera with me on a tour called Long Way to the Top. His climbing skills were excellent, so he earned the title of Monkey Boy!!
I next hooked up with Jess as my 16 & 35mm camera assistant. He was excellent.
This continued for years until it was obvious Jesse needed to spread his wings and go shooting himself.
I’ve since worked shoulder to shoulder with him on many projects.
Jesse has a great eye and even greater abilities in the edit suite.
Oh, and he’s a great bloke.
JIm WalpoleDirector of Photography I've had the good fortune of knowing Mr Jesse Frazer for over 30 years. We’ve both worked on a multitude of extraordinarily challenging productions, as you do in this game, usually the only reward was the experience and knowledge from your involvement. It’s these productions that have tempered every aspect of Jesse’s approach to the process. It is no easy feat to turn an idea on paper into an emotive series of collective images that bring focus to a product while weaving it a relatable story. Leaving the audience persuasively affected to want more. Jesse has gained the full package of practical creativity, visualisation skills, precise delegation and renowned technical know-how.
I’ve also witnessed his unwavering creative support for new and upcoming visionaries. He has solved problems for Producers they didn’t realise they had. He also places value in compliance with the legislative codes of practice that govern our industry to ensure the safety of cast, crew and others. Jesse has proven time and again to be an undefinable asset to any film set he's been invited on. Jesse's true super power is he's a natural problem solver and that's what you need to surround yourself with in the unconstrained, creativity driven, often-uncharted waters of film production.
