Nathan Scoggins

A multi-hyphenate writer/producer/director, Nathan Scoggins started his career with a series of award-winning short films, two of which were released by Lionsgate as part of the "Crave" anthology. His first feature film as a writer/director, "The Least of These", gathered a remarkable cast including Isaiah Washington ("Grey's Anatomy", "Crooklyn," "Get on the Bus," "The 100"), Bob Gunton ("Shawshank Redemption", "Patch Adams", "24"), and the late Robert Loggia (Oscar-nominee for "Jagged Edge", "Big," "Scarface," "The Sopranos"); it premiered on STARZ and streamed on Netflix before being released on DVD by Universal. He was then hired to write a number of different projects, including a faith-based comedy for Lionsgate, "Riven", an adaptation of the novel by NY Times best-selling author Jerry Jenkins, and "God Grew Tired Of Us," about the lost boys of the Sudan. Collaborating with a group of friends and fellow filmmakers in the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl competition, Scoggins contributed to the creation of the successful "Sling Baby" commercial, which aired during the 2012 Super Bowl, and co-directed "Fashionista Daddy", which aired during the 2013 game. Other feature projects followed, including writing projects for Andrew Panay (the producer of "Wedding Crashers"), "Horrible Bosses" producer John Rickard, and Scott Bernstein ("Straight Outta Compton"). Additionally, he co-wrote the TV movie "The Perfect Summer," which premiered to 3M viewers on UPTV before its DVD release, and helped produce the independent feature "Red Line". In 2022, his next feature as writer/producer/director premiered at the prestigious Austin Film Festival before being released theatrically -- "What Remains," starring Cress Williams ("Black Lightning"), Kellan Lutz ("Twilight", "The Expendables"), and the late Anne Heche ("Six Days Seven Nights", "Volcano"). The film is now available on SVOD, TVOD and PVOD. He directed two episodes of an upcoming TV show for Sony Affirm, and is in development on a number of different projects. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three daughters.

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.
