This month I turned 30. This film, like others I've made this year, is a diary, but it's also a dialogue with a younger version of myself, footage from right around now, dancing with footage from 2012. It's a meditation, a little dream, as simple as I could make it. It could probably be played on a loop, and you could hop in at any moment, and you'd be fine. It's what I've been capturing with a camera since that first film of mine from 2012: nature, sometimes abstracted, sometimes not, because, I guess, that's what I like to look at. Hope you enjoy. The music is a song called "Doll's Estate" from the Youth Lagoon album Savage Hills Ballroom. I have no intent of exploiting this song for my own monetary gain, I just liked how it sounded with the images. The words in the film are from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the title is from an essay by Arthur Schopenhauer.
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.
