Let's fix that.
I met Moe... I dunno, 4-5 years ago. We've worked on different projects together, in a variety of capacities: I directed him in Mind Reader 8 (which he also acted as producer on), I edited his short film "In One Lifetime", he directed (the short version of) a script I wrote, "The Maid".
And those are just the projects I've worked with him on. The man's got a ton of other credits to his name, in a bunch of other capacities. He's been busy acting, writing, producing, and directing. And not just movies, but plays, classes. Etc.
As an actor, he started early: When he was a kid, he had a speaking role in Spielberg's classic "The Color Purple". He's since gone on to work for other high-profile directors: Alan Parker ("The Life of David Gale" with Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslet), Marcus Nispel ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with Jessica Biel, produced by Michael Bay), and Steve Mims ("One Eye Peeled", where Moe played five different characters).
As a producer, he founded ReelEyes Productions in Austin, then F.L.O.a.T Films in Los Angeles. He's produced a number of short films (including the aforementioned Mind Reader 8) as well as a feature film (Alan Ray's Deadland Dreaming).
As a director, he's done plays (Athol Fugard’s "Master Harold and the Boys", Bruce Bonafede’s "Advice to the Players", and August Wilson's "King Headley II") and a run of music videos and short films for his F.L.O.a.T Films entity.
And I haven't even mentioned his writing.
Let's just say that, for every project I've seen him work on (both mine and other's), he was The go-to-guy. The man gets it done.
So when Moe told me he wanted to option Sixufus? I knew that it would get done, and by a man who would do it with excellence and professionalism.
And to close, it turns out that Maurice's (director's) demo reel is on the web. Check it:
