Gabe has a burning fire in him to make his mark on Hollywood with his crime spree movie, but no one wants to give him funding. After a chance encounter with a thief named Gideon, Gabe decides to shoot his movie guerilla-style, robbing convenience stores, filming the whole thing. There's just one little problem; Gideon has been keeping the money (hey, old habits die hard). Now the filmmakers are wanted felons, with the police hot on their trail.
Gabe, a brilliant film school graduate, wants to make a noir movie, but there's just one problem: no one wants to give him funding. After a chance encounter with laundromat thief Gideon, Gabe knows what to do: he and his crew will shoot their movie guerilla style, robbing convenience stores, filming the whole thing and then explaining afterwards to the people they've just robbed. There's just one little problem: Gideon starts keeping the money (hey, old habits die hard). Now the filmmakers are wanted felons, with the police hot on their trail.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
