Marc Coleman is a multi award winning comedy writer/director from Dagenham. His debut feature film ‘MANFISH’ was a film festival hit in 2022 and went on to win ‘Best Feature' at the prestigious Sci-Fi London Film Festival. The film premiered on Sky Store, Shudder and Amazon Prime (UK and USA) in March of 2023 and was nominated for “Best Independent Feature’ at the 2023 National Film Awards. His second feature film ‘MEMBERS CLUB' is due for release in 2024. Marc has been writing and directing comedy for over twelve years after entering the industry as a comedy actor in the mid noughties. In 2016, he won an Empire Award for ‘LEGEND’, a film that he made for £20. In 2017, he made a short comedy horror film called ‘THE FLYTIPPER’ which went on to be a finalist in the ‘Best Comedy’ category at the BAFTA qualifying Carmarthen Bay Film Festival in 2018. The short was later distributed by the legendary New York based schlock horror company Troma. In 2020, Marc made a proof of concept short film called ‘THE HOBBYHORSER’ about the Swedish adolescent competitive sport of Hobbyhorsing starring Liam Noble (Big Mad Andy - Peep Show). The film premiered at London Lift Off Film Festival in 2021. Marc has a strong sense of visual comedic style and makes grounded in reality offbeat comedies about working class characters. He utilises his years as a prop maker to incorporate weird props and set pieces into his films, which in turn leads them to having a unique edge.

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.
