A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Laurence Love Greed is a British composer, experimental musician and motion picture music editor, who’s multidisciplinary work spans film, television, pop music, installation art, and live performance. Laurence’s recent composer credits include the score for BBC One thriller Keeping Faith, starring Eve Myles, which Laurence won the 2018 BAFTA Cymru for Original Music, with songwriter Amy Wadge. Other composer credits include the BBC’s NHS commemorative film To Provide All People, starring Michael Sheen and Martin Freeman, and indie feature A Serial Killer's Guide To Life. A pianist and percussionist, sound recordist and editor, he has worked closely with many other composers, including Howard Shore, Max Richter, David Arnold and Rupert Gregson-Williams, helping to craft the soundtracks for award winning films and television programmes such as The Hobbit (Warner Bros), Taboo (BBC/Scott Free), Sherlock (BBC) and The Crown (Netflix). In 2016, Love Greed wrote the score to the multi BAFTA winning Aberfan: The Green Hollow (Michael Sheen, Jonathan Pryce). He directed parts of the film where the present day primary school children sing hymns before class. The audio recordings from these scenes later formed part of the score. He also recorded a band in Abbey Road Studio 2 using 1960’s recording equipment to achieve an authentic recording quality. His installation work as a member of Wintour’s Leap has been exhibited in London and Glasgow, and explores the relationship between technology and music using immersive and reactive spaces for improvised performance. He works closely and frequently with leading sound artist Nick Ryan as orchestrator and co-project leader. In 2016 they travelled to 30 locations on the Yangtze River in China, gathering field recordings for a large public sound installation at Gatwick Airport. This project ‘A Living River’ transports visitors to the Yangtze River using 120 speakers in a spatial array along the Skybridge. It is experienced by over a million people a year. Laurence has twice been a tutor at the Aldeburgh Young Musician courses. Laurence has worked as string arranger and percussionist for Imogen Heap. He programmed, recorded, edited and mixed pieces for her Love The Earth project, which later became key components to the soundtrack of the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. He also performed piano on Ed Sheeran’s album Divide, and as percussionist he has performed with Imogen Heap and the London Contemporary Voices.

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.
