Biography from TheMovieDB

Known for inventive visuals, contemporary themes, and subverting genre tropes, Travis Stevens' work as a filmmaker is both bold and unpredictable.  In 2019, his writing and directing debut "Girl On The Third Floor" premiered at SXSW. Starring wrestling superstar CM Punk, the film won a Fangoria Chainsaw Award ("Best First Feature"), before terrifying audiences on Netflix -- becoming the #2 most watched film on the streaming service.  His follow-up, the feminist vampire comedy "Jakob's Wife", premiered at SXSW 2021 and was Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The picture won the 2022 Rondo Award for "Best Independent Film" and scored a Critic's Choice Super Award nomination for lead actress Barbara Crampton ("Best Actress in a Horror Movie"), as well as Fangoria Chainsaw Award nominations for "Best Lead Performance" for her and "Best Supporting Performance" for Larry Fessenden.  His latest project, the Shudder Original "A Wounded Fawn", stars Josh Ruben, Sarah Lind and Malin Barr. This visually riveting, original horror story premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews and sold-out screenings. It was named one of the "Best Horror Films of 2022" by The Hollywood Reporter, the AV Club, Slash Film, Paste Magazine and is Certified Fresh at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.  Before focusing on writing and directing, Travis produced a string of well-regarded genre films that include Adam Wingard's "A Horrible Way To Die", the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune", E.L. Katz's "Cheap Thrills", and Sarah Adina Smith's "Buster's Mal Heart" starring Rami Malek.

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.
