At the beginning of the film, the filmmaker begins to talk to the camera. I don't know what kind of film I'm going to make, but I'm going to make it. The camera is set up in a room. He moves into a bigger room and tries to capture more of his everyday life, but eventually, he gets tired of playing with the camera alone and enlists three of his friends to join him in making three dramas. The filmmaker insists on showing a naked woman in the film, but before he can make up his mind, the camera returns to his room, where he struggles to make a film, and, unable to process it as his own expression, he calmly accepts his awkwardness. In this way, the audience can see the growth of the artist. In this two-hour film, the audience experiences unique complicity with the artist's growth.

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.
