Everything about Scott Mosier totally explained
Scott A. Mosier (born
5 March,
1971) is an American
film producer,
editor, and cameo actor who has done work in Kevin Smith's
View Askewniverse films. He has also been a close friend to
Kevin Smith since 1992.
Biography
Meeting Kevin Smith
Mosier met Smith at the
Vancouver Film School in
Canada. Their first assignment,, was a student film documentary that fell apart in production. To salvage it, Smith and Mosier interviewed the crew about the demise of the very documentary that they'd been attempting to produce. They also added a segment in which the two were shown in silhouette as they described their fictional thoughts.
Four months into the eight month program, Kevin Smith decided to drop out, but not before making a deal with Mosier: each would start writing a script of their own, and the one who finished last would help the other with his movie.
Working with View Askew
In the film
Clerks., Mosier recorded the original sound on the set, edited the movie (at
RST Video), and contributed to the budget. He also contributed by appearing on-screen as multiple characters, including the angry hockey player and
Willam Black (a.k.a Snowball). Additionally, his hockey player role on the ladder talking to Willam on the ground is, as Kevin Smith describes it, "the only special effect in
Clerks".
In
Mallrats, Mosier worked in organizing the budget along with
line producer Laura Greenlee, while presiding over a much larger crew. In the movie, he portrayed Svenning's assistant, Roddy. The character later appeared on a
Jay and Silent Bob MTV short.
In
Chasing Amy, Scott went from a possible $3,000,000 under
Miramax's budget to $250,000 that was given to Kevin by
Harvey Weinstein and
Bob Weinstein. He appears in the beginning of the film as the "Tracer Collector" who gets into an argument with
Banky Edwards (
Jason Lee).
While making
Dogma, Mosier worked with Laura Greenlee again; the editing of the film lasted nearly a year. He also played the Smooching Seaman that
Ben Affleck and
Matt Damon meet on the bus.
During
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Mosier worked with a budget of $20 million. The editing was difficult due to the
MPAA threatening to give the film a
NC-17 rating. In the film, Mosier played the Assistant Director on the set of the fictional sequel to
Good Will Hunting and reprises his Willam Black character from
Clerks. (he also reprised the Tracer Collector from
Chasing Amy, which was later cut).
For
Jersey Girl, Scott had a very large budget of $35 million. The editing was also difficult due to the studio's desire to cut down the large amount of
Jennifer Lopez/
Ben Affleck footage following the poor box-office performance of
Gigli.
Scott produced
Clerks II in 2006. According to a statement from Kevin Smith, he edited the film himself, thus making
Clerks II one of two films Moiser has produced with Smith but not edited, the other being
Mallrats. He makes a brief cameo as a concerned father who shields his daughter's eyes from the sight of Dante sitting on a toilet.
Scott is currently working on
Zack and Miri Make a Porno with Smith.
Other work
Scott also served as an editor for
Bryan Johnson's
Vulgar, an Askew production. He had also served as a producer (along with Kevin Smith) on
Drawing Flies, A Better Place and ; he served as a co-executive producer on
Good Will Hunting and
Big Helium Dog. He also appeared in cameos in
Drawing Flies as the Crying Diaperman, in
A Better Place as Larry and in
Vulgar as Scotty. Mosier is also a co-host, along with Smith, of the
Smodcast
podcast.
In 2007,
Salim Baba, a short documentary Scott produced, was nominated for an
Academy Award. Filmmakers Tim Sternberg and Francisco Bello received the nomination.
