Gautam Parvi is a Filmmaker and a Writer based in Mumbai. Right from his childhood his interest lied more in films than academics. Like any other middle-class parents, his parents were alarmed. Thus, he was compelled to do Engineering where he obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering. With an engineering degree under his belt, he was campus selected for a reputed Automobile manufacturing company where he worked for six month until he put his foot down and began to pursue his dream. After a year of initial struggle, he went on to assist Vidhu Vinod Chopra for his film 'Eklavya - The Royal Guard'. He was then associated with Vinod Chopra Films for the next four years which he considers his film school training. He then went on to work with some of the finest filmmakers and leading production houses in the country. Since 2017, he has gone independent and is writing, creating & directing content for diverse platforms like Eros Now, Disney+Hotstar, Sony Liv, Dish TV'S Watcho amongst others.

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.
