A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Edith Rodriguez is an emerging Writer-Director who grew up between the mountains of Puerto Rico and cold winters of Wisconsin. After years of creating content for Fortune 100 companies, she began writing and directing to pursue her passion of narrative storytelling. Edith’s debut short film Pride was an official selection at the 2020 Philadelphia Latino Film Festival and was licensed to ShortsTV in US and Latin America. She was the co-writer of the short film Las Cruces which premiered at the 2019 Austin Film Festival. Her latest short film Ashes will be premiering in 2021. She was also a 2021 Dallas International Film Festival Screenplay Winner and 2020 Bluecat Top 5 Feature Finalist for her script South Side Girls. As a storyteller, her goal is to bring a fresh and authentic lens to characters and worlds we haven’t yet seen represented on screen. Check out her scripts page for current loglines.
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.
