Biography from TheMovieDB

Angela Barnes is an Atlanta-based television director and writer whose career began behind the scenes as an assistant director. She is an alumna of the Directors Guild of America's Assistant Director Training Program and further honed her craft through the ABC/Disney Directing Fellowship, the Fox Global Director Initiative, and the Fox Comedy Apprentice Program. After gaining experience in support roles, she earned her first break into episodic directing with the series Eve, eventually expanding her portfolio to include high-profile shows across multiple networks. Among her credits are acclaimed episodes of Atlanta, Loot, Mythic Quest, Blindspotting, Teenage Bounty Hunters, and One Day at a Time.  Barnes is known for her sharp wit, thoughtful storytelling, and strong visual sensibility. She directed a viral 2020 voting PSA titled "Get Your Booty to the Poll," which she conceived, produced, and directed, earning widespread attention for its impact. Beyond television drama and comedy, she has also ventured into commercial directing, signing with Hungry Man Productions in October 2024. Under that banner, she directed campaigns, including an Old Spice spot through Wieden + Kennedy and a PSA featuring Vice President Kamala Harris.  Marvel Studios tapped Barnes to direct the back end (3 episodes) of the Disney+ series Ironheart (2025).  In recognition of her work, Barnes received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Directing in an Episode of a Comedy Series for an episode of Atlanta. Having participated in DGA events, she frequently speaks on topics such as manifestation and inclusivity in television, advocating for a mindful, values-driven approach to storytelling and production.

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.
