A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Cowboy Smithx is an Indigenous filmmaker of Blackfoot Ancestry from the Piikani and Kainai tribes of Southern Alberta, Canada. Cowboy received his initial film production training in Los Angeles, California at the NMTN American Indian Summer Institute at UCLA, Loyola Marymount University, USC-Zemeckis and FOX Studios in 2006-2007. Cowboy also completed the Full Circle: First Nations Performance Ensemble Training Program in 2007, then went on to graduate from the Independent Indigenous Digital Filmmaking program at Capilano University in 2008. Cowboy has gone on to write, produce and direct various works in live theatre, music video, documentary and narrative film, which earned him awards both in Canada and the United States. Cowboy is currently hosting and producing "The Silent X Podcast." Cowboy splits time between his traditional Blackfoot territory in Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia.

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.
