Fosselius was hired by Universal Studios to develop comedy screenplays. After working for many months on a script entitled "Two Guys from Space", the studio pulled the plug on the project and offered him the directing job on "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" as a consolation. Fosselius passed on it and went back to Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, where he made his living as a sound effects and foley editor on many feature films including "Ed Wood", "Serial Mom", "", "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", and "Amadeus".
