Filmmaker Tammy Jones follows her brother Martin and his partner of 10 years Maxim in their journey to become parents. Maxim, 36, grew up in Russia and Martin, 41, grew up in a small northern Ontario town. They now live in Ottawa. Martin and Maxim have succeeded against all the odds. They welcomed Sasha and Lucas home in January 2012 after years of research, planning, surgery, waiting, expenses, and miscarriages. These brave young men set off on a road less traveled. They are paving the road for other gay couples and LGBTQ people as our society changes and our laws rush to catch up with societal changes.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
