A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

January 1, 1948
Richard Woolley began making films at King's College London. After three years at the Royal College of Art, where Structuralism ruled the roost, he spent two years in Berlin – and a further three in the UK – developing his own fusion of formalist experiment, clear social statement and audience accessibility. In the eighties, his feature film Brothers and Sisters was well received by critics and viewers alike and his two subsequent films in that decade both sold well. In the nineties, he gave up directing – an activity he found exhausting in the extreme! – to concentrate on scripting. Since then, he has combined completion of screenplay commissions with the running of Film & TV schools around the world and, more recently, with being a university professor. Novels include Stranger Love, Sekabo and Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands.

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.
