A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Dallas, Texas, USA
Raised in Memphis, TN, Shelby Baldock grew up loving film and music, creating short films and studying jazz percussion from an early age. The two passions always going hand-in-hand led to work for the Grammys and touring with the internationally recognized North Mississippi Allstars, creating music videos, documentaries, and concert films. In 2010, Shelby helped established Piano Man Pictures, a Memphis arts collective, producing and supporting local filmmakers and artists. Film collaborations with Grammy award winner Cody Dickinson include “Rattle the Hocks” and “Take Me to the River.” In 2019, Shelby was the lead virtual reality story editor for the Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi, seen by over 300,000 people worldwide. He continues to produce and direct feature documentaries, films, animation, and virtual reality.

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.
