A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta, Griffin began performing in local theater at the age of seven, and by age 13 was working consistently in commercial projects. Throughout middle and high school, Griffin continued to perform on stage in musicals, dramas and improv, and developed a love for filmmaking, filming and editing music videos for local bands and rappers, and writing, directing, editing and starring in short films. His drama,Sitting on the FenceĀ (2011), was an official selection at the Macon Film Festival in 2011, and in 2013, his short film, Self Portrait, was the first short film ever awarded "Superior" at the Georgia Thespian Conference and was invited to compete at the national level.
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.
