Biography

Frank Mosley is an actor and filmmaker from Texas living in Los Angeles. He's a fellow of the 2015 Berlinale Talents, 2017 NYFF Artist Academy, and 2016 Workshop for Auteurs led by Abbas Kiarostami. As a director, he's had two retrospectives of his work: The Spectacle Theater, NYC (2018) and online on Kinoscope (2020), where his films were called "miracles of economy... by a major cinematic voice" (Vague Visages). They include Good Condition (Fantasia 2023), Parthenon (Slamdance 2018), Casa De Mi Madre (Champs-Elysees 2017), and The Event (Fantastic Fest 2022), which debuted as a Vimeo Staff Pick and was named a "Top 12 Film of 2023" on NoBudge. His experimental, interactive feature film Her Wilderness has been called "a beguiling experience" (The Playlist) and "a mesmerizing film by a superb actor and filmmaker" (RogerEbert.com). As an actor, his starring role in Freeland (SXSW 2020, MUBI) opposite Lily Gladstone and Krisha Fairchild was called "excellent... compellingly slippery" (The Hollywood Reporter) and that he's "a dependably fantastic American indie mainstay" (Filmmaker Magazine). Other notable films include Upstream Color (Sundance jury winner, Berlinale 2013), Collective Unconscious (SXSW 2016, The Criterion Channel), Chained for Life (NYTimes Critics Pick 2018, Kino Lorber), Rent Free (Tribeca, Frameline 2024), Love and Work (Slamdance, Chatanooga 2024), Americana (Fantasia, SIFF 2016), The Ghost Who Walks (Netflix Top Ten Film 2020), Thunder Road (SXSW 2018 winner, ACID Cannes), Person to Person (Magnolia Pictures), The Procedure (Sundance 2016 winner, Adult Swim), Don't Ever Change (Vimeo Staff Pick 2017, Alter), and alongside David Arquette in Quantum Cowboys (Fantastic Fest 2022, Factory 25), for which they were called "a divinely sinister duo" (Variety). For his leading role in Some Beasts, he received a Special Jury Prize for Outstanding Performance at the 2016 Sarasota Film Festival and was declared "one of the best performances of 2017" by Film Pulse.
