About Me

The second installment of Frank Mosley's Perception Trilogy, inspired by Greek philosopher Plato's quote, "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." The first part, HOLY THE SABBATH, was shot on 16mm in 2004.LITTLE BOY, shot on HD, is a 15 minute short experimental film. It is an examination of responsibility during the creation of the Atomic bomb during 1945. Shot on a soundstage to invoke the sense of theater, it highlights a moment in time where innocence is lost and only uncertainty lies ahead.Michael Morse is an anonymous man working for an anonymous sector of the Manhattan Project when he gets two phone calls in quick succession: that the atomic bomb has been completed and that his wife has just given birth to their son at the local hospital. What happens next is a fusing of past, present, and future, interweaving in the head of a man doomed to be the messenger of destruction.Principal photography wrapped on April 30th, 2006, after an intense four day shoot. THe film held its premiere in May of 2007 in Bedford, Texas, and has since screened at the 2007 Dallas Video Festival and won BEST LOCAL FILM PRIZE by Fort Worth Weekly Magazine for their Culture Column Awards. At the 2007 Dark Horse Film Festival held in Denton, TX, on December 9th, the film ran away with the awards for BEST PICTURE, BEST DIRECTOR, BEST EDITING, and BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS for Kelly Grandjean. We recently played at the 2008 Mid Valley Video Festival in Portland, Oregon, and are still waiting to hear from several other festivals....The third part of the trilogy is still in the scripting phase. A complete dvd of the trilogy will be on sale sometime in the imminent future....The LITTLE BOY cast includes Reece Rios, Kelly Grandjean, Zane Hubbard, Bill Flynn, Mary Fournier, Stephanie Rhodes, Melissa Hurta, Dona Mularkey, Emmy Zabcik, and John Rainone. Written, directed, and produced by Frank Mosley. Associate producers: Rick Mosley, Thomas Lumpkin and Frederick Trevino. Cinematography by: Thomas Lumpkin. Sound Designer: Frederick Trevino.
