Glenn Berggoetz is the writer and director of twelve feature films. His newest releases are the 2018 comedy "Poetry Slammed" and the 2018 thriller/horror film "Paralyzed with Fear" that stars Kane Hodder of "Friday the 13th" fame. His comedy "The Death of Ivan Nussbaum" that stars stand-up comic Pete Buchbauer is slated for a 2019 release. Berggoetz's films are screened at film festivals around the world, and many of his films are now available for streaming on Amazon and for DVD purchase on many websites. Crowned "the king of indie comedy" by Examiner.com, "Paste" magazine (which ranked Berggoetz's film "To Die is Hard" as the 16th-best B movie in cinema history) has said of Berggoetz that, "It's impossible to not be charmed by him" and "The man is a genius." Berggoetz is the author of the book "The Independent Filmmaker's Guide: Make Your Feature Film for $2,000" and frequently makes speaking appearances.

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.
