Biography from TheMovieDB

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Raj Jawa's passion for film began at a young age as he made comedy videos with friends in his neighborhood. This interest led him to pursue film production courses at College of the Canyons, where he graduated with honors in 2008, earning an Associate Degree in Film and Television Production.  Together with his close friend and colleague Diego Miranda from College of the Canyons, Raj co-founded mbcFilms. This led to several experimental short films, allowing Raj to refine his editing skills and work on more abstract concepts. Raj starred in two of mbcFilms' shorts, I'm Not Real and Fourth, which explored themes of loneliness, disconnection, and personal growth.  In 2016, Raj launched Garaj Pictures, where he produced his first feature film, Shadows Fall, a low-budget psychological thriller. In 2023, he began pre-production for his next feature film, The Seductress from Hell, set to be filmed in October 2023.  Determined to expand his skills, Raj attended improvisation classes at Upright Citizens Brigade and enrolled in courses at Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles. He has received mentorship from renowned Poison Ivy director Katt Shea and is currently working with casting director and acting coach Stephen Snyder of the Pit-Bull Snyder Actors Studio.  Raj is a dedicated actor with over sixty principal and supporting roles under his belt. His most recent appearance was in Disney's Free Guy. He has also been featured in Lifetime Movie series My Crazy Ex, Netflix series Deep Undercover, and the go90 mini-series Threads.

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.

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.
