Bio
the journey, and the return
Fraser Allan Best is a documentary filmmaker with a background in broadcast journalism and investigative reporting. Best is based in Toronto, but has done extensive work throughout the United States. Currently, he is producing a feature film on a liver transplant he received in 2020, from a live donor.
