Birthplace:
Sacramento, California, USA

Brian is an actor, writer, filmmaker born and raised in Sacramento, California. While completing a degree in Theatre Arts at Sacramento City College, he performed on stage across the city. After continuing his studies of Film and Drama at San Diego State University, he moved to Los Angeles to fulfill his career aspirations. Brian has worked successfully as an actor, writer, and producer both on stage and in film. Testing his theatre chops in a new city, Brian wore all three hats on several stage productions in the NOHO arts district. These projects included, 'Games', 'Pieces', and the critically acclaimed 'That's My Desire'. 'Desire', a harsh prison drama, became a successful fund-raiser for Inner City Youth during performances at LATC. Brian was acknowledged citywide as "Best Lead Actor" by reviewplays.com for his work in "The Dolly."  As Brian switched his focus to film, he continued to act and produce from his own screenplays. Early projects included the 16mm short 'Daydream Believer', and the feature 'Rites of Spring'. His film, the 35mm 'Ranchero', co-starring Danny Trejo, was awarded "Best of Festival" at Indie Fest USA. The script garnered him the "Best Screenplay" award at the S.E.N.E. Film, Music & Art Festival.  Brian worked as a multi-hyphenate on the feature 'Mobster', where he's credited as writer, producer, director, and actor.  With several projects in development, Brian continues to create content that he hopes will move, entertain, and inspire his audience.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
