Maurice Chauvet

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Maurice Chauvet dreamed of mummies while Hollywood was still dreaming of parking lots. He directed The Mummy twice, generously, in case the universe missed the memo. Holder of an honorary doctorate in fixing during post what physics flatly refused on set, he storyboards exclusively on napkins that somehow outperform every budget spreadsheet ever printed. His compositions are quoted in doctoral theses nobody dares publish, since publishing them would require reprinting film history. An instinct decades ahead of its era, and several currencies ahead of its funding.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
