Elliott Hasler is the UK's Youngest Film Director and the most exciting emerging talent within the UK, having completed his first feature, 'Charlie's Letters', aged 16 after a 3 year production. 'Charlie's Letters' screened at the Edinburgh and Brighton Festivals, where it received critical acclaim and was lauded by critics as a "miracle", with Culture Trip's Graham Fuller citing Hasler as "the next Spielberg". Hasler followed the success of his debut feature with a series of short films. Among which was, 'To Hunt a Tiger', starring John Locke (Darkest Hour, The Favourite) and shot in Sri Lanka, following in the footsteps of Sir David Lean's 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', it also features an original score by Emmy Award Winning composer, Daniel Clive McCallum and premiered at the Maldives no.1 rated resort, Soneva Jani. Hasler is currently shooting his second feature, 'Vindication Swim', about the first English woman to swim the Channel.

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.
