Biography from TheMovieDB

This is Memo's Bio, they'd like you to know that they apologize that bios are so boring. The regular bits: Memo studied Visual and Performing Arts in their hometown of Miami. They have been involved with many folx including Nettles Artists Collective, La MaMa ETC, and HaitiDansCo. They bring to their work a toolset influenced by their experience in African dance, Suzuki, Sculpture, Photography, Viewpoints, technology, writing, Film Art Direction, and more that allow for a wide spectrum of exploration. Memo always looks for opportunities to collaborate on experimental and mixed discipline projects. Their latest works concentrate in film. More bits: They relocated to New York City in 2002 where they moved through gigs like sculpting for the iconic Holiday Windows, doing voice-over work for the National Guard, filing folders labeled "Mesothelioma" for a giant law firm, wearing a diaper on Law and Order SVU, counting people, and restoring antiques, until finally finding how great it is to be an Airbnb host. (Best survival gig ever!) Some special bits: Memo has also worked as an educator with various communities from underprivileged immigrant children in the wilds of South Florida to NYC students on the Autism Spectrum. Now, being "multi-coastal," Memo is looking for opportunities as an actor while writing and producing their own projects.

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.
