In 2002, Mossman was the subject of a documentary film by Mark Moskowitz, Stone Reader, (ISBN 156730334x)which chronicled the director's attempt to resuscitate the acclaimed book and speak to its seemingly vanished author.
The film shows Mossman currently living in the home he grew up in, which is filled with books. According to the film, Mossman writes on the porch, and is currently working on a book based on notes he has taken from watching hundreds of old movies. In addition to that book, he is also working on a book of poetry. Mossman lists the memoirs of Casanova as his favorite literary work. As a child, Dow read the Bible, and the complete novels of Arthur Conan Doyle. He describes his reading as pretty "a-list."
Prior to Stone Reader, Dow had been employed for 19 years as a welder. He subsequently quit to look after his aging mother, who later died, after which he returned to work as a paper bundler for the local newspaper. After the film's release, The Stones of Summer was re-published by Barnes & Noble. He is now semi-retired.
