Christopher Wiegand traveled across the United States in an Airstream travel trailer interviewing Bloggers about a range of topics in this unique and heartfelt Documentary. Motivated by his blogger wife Casey Wiegand, who started a blog after health issues arose with their first child, Christopher had the idea to travel the country and interview other Bloggers as he attempted to discover more about this industry that has become a huge part of his life. This film is just a microscopic look into the very broad and diverse world of Blogging. The story is told through the eyes and perspective of Christopher Wiegand, with the backdrop of America’s landscape playing a supportive role. This is the first Film in the American Blogger franchise. There are lots more American Blogger stories to be told.

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.
