A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. J.P. Davis is an American screenwriter and actor. Born and raised on the upper West Side of New York City, Davis attended The Berkshire School and then graduated from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Davis's first screenplay was Fighting Tommy Riley. The script was written with the sole intention of playing the title role. The script attracted the attention of industry luminaries but Davis refused to sell the script without being attached as the actor. Davis ultimately prevailed in getting the film made on a micro-budget of $180,000. Fighting Tommy Riley premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and then went on to play at the Hamptons Film Festival (where it won the Kodak Award) and at the San Francisco Film Festival. The film opened theatrically in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and the Hamptons on May 5, 2006. J.P. currently lives and writes in Los Angeles.

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.
