A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Aron Meinhardt is an award-winning cinematographer whose work combines bold visual storytelling with emotional authenticity. His approach starts with the belief that great stories happen in every genre, and the camera is a conduit for layered and resonant storytelling. A partner in Julie Pacino’s production company, Tiny Apples, Aron has worked with her to shape the look and feel of every project they’ve undertaken together. This includes their debut feature, “I Live Here Now,” a surreal, psychological horror film shot on 35mm with support from Kodak and Panavision. Aron began shooting on a 16mm B&H Filmo and editing on a hand-cranked Moviola. This experience shaped his tactile, hands-on approach to filmmaking. His work has screened at major festivals including Tribeca, Cannes, Venice, Carthage, Fantasia, Edinburgh, and Santa Barbara. He remains drawn to stories that challenge him to bring his whole self to the frame.

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.
