A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:

January 18, 1973
Having gone to high school in the small northern Manitoba town of Thompson, Steve got involved with the local cable station run by Videon Cable. There, he was able to film and edit local broadcasts of City Council and School Board meetings as well as the town Hockey Games. This led to producing a video show for the station called "Video Noize" in which two dudes rocked out by head banging on a couch in a basement while bootlegged punk music played in the background. The cable director saw potential and signed Steve up for a class at Native Communications Incorporated (NCI) where Steve learned how to create a production start to finish. some of these works included Crime Stoppers videos and a news story on Viking Helicopters who at the time carried out the water bombing on the forest fires that were active in the region that summer. NCI also had a radio channel which was played early morning on CBC television. Steve was an assistant DJ who provided character voices and wrote comedy material. Fast forward to 1994 and while Steve finds himself in Seattle where he met a local comedy troupe that was working on Almost Live! the TV show. During this time Steve helped out on a few skits and also wrote, acted in and edited parts of one episode. Steve returned to Winnipeg, Manitoba , Canada in 1995 and begun working a professional career. In 2017 Steve caught the acting bug once again and has recently found himself in several projects shooting in the Winnipeg area.

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.
