Following the 1920's disappearance and assumed murder of Dirty Nat's Father, he and his family were forced from their rural homestead. Now almost a century later, Nat has managed to orchestrate the reunification of the family's land. He recruits his Great Nephew Vallon and his friend Byron to help him piece together the remains of his Father's fledgling black community, burned down during the racial animus of the Post Reconstruction South. Vallon, after being warned by his Great Uncle Dirty Nat, to pay his proper respects at a centuries old Hanging Tree before entering a mysterious marsh, finds himself on the wrong side of history. In brushing it off as superstition he is seen as a trespasser and incurs the wrath of a restless spirit known as the DUPPY MAN.

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.
