Five stories that intertwine around a mysterious smartphone that allows you to have a copy of anyone's phone. Just enter the number and you immediately have access to bank accounts, photos, videos, emails, messages, even the most intimate ones, and if you activate the camera in spy mode you can observe the lives of others live. A morbidity that pervades anyone who comes into contact with this phone, in the frantic search for the power to influence the lives of others. Thus begins an escalation of linked events in which, without a moment's respite, we will follow the fate of the phone and of those who come into possession of it. The protagonists of the five episodes must confront their most hidden desires and the (in)ability to manage the power of knowledge.
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.
