Frank Film (1973)

American filmmaker whose other work includes LA, LA, MAKING IT IN L.A. (1979), BEGINNER'S LUCK (1986) and FRANKLY CAROLINE (2000), an 8-minute short in which Mouris and his wife, Caroline, talk to the audience when they aren't arguing with each other about how to present her life to the audience. All his films were made with his wife and their company, Mouris Squared. His Academy Award-winning animated short, FRANK FILM (1973) features two soundtracks - in one, Mouris narrates an autobiography, in the other, he reads off a list of words beginning with the letter "f." Tying the two soundtracks together and influencing their subject matter is the animated collage of photos collected from magazines - all arranged by theme and each theme merging into the next.  Short Subjects (Animated Films) 1973: FRANK FILM - Producer 1 nomination, 1 Award
