Jared Raab is a Canadian writer and filmmaker, best known for his work on the television series Nirvanna the Band the Show. Originally from Millbrook, Ontario, Raab studied film at York University. He made a number of short films before breaking through to wider attention with his 2011 short The Revenge Plot, which won the Fan Favorite award at the 2011 RBC Emerging Filmmakers Competition. For a number of years thereafter he was a director of music videos for artists such as Born Ruffians, Arkells, Ohbijou, Diamond Rings, PS I Love You, Snailhouse, Young Rival and Fast Romantics. He received two Prism Prize nominations as a director of music videos, in 2017 for July Talk's "Picturing Love" and in 2021 for Andy Shauf's "Clove Cigarette". He was cinematographer on Matt Johnson's films The Dirties and Operation Avalanche prior to Johnson and Jay McCarrol creating Nirvanna the Band the Show, for which Raab was both a cinematographer and one of the writers. He is a two-time Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Writing in a Comedy Series for Nirvanna the Band the Show, receiving nods at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018 for "The Bean" and at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019 for "The Book", and a nominee for Best Direction in a Documentary Series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022 for This Is Pop.

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.
