Young, Independent Film-maker. Joshua is an upcoming film-maker who is eager to make his artistic mark and create more work. His work has received praise such as "you've turned this into something beautiful. its incredible. im so proud of you.", "This was beautiful, it is a genuine work of art, and you should be beyond proud of yourself and what you’ve created :)" and "everything you spoke about really struck a chord with me. ", to name a few comments. One key trademark of his films so far is a budget-less approach to film-making; 'The Views From Sunset Hill' was, for example, edited on college computers, written on free script-writing software and filmed with a house-hold camera. His inspirations for such consist of 'News From Home' (1976, Akerman), ' Le Bonheur' (1965, Varda) and 'Blond' (2016, Ocean). He later made and released 'ViewFinder', again created entirely for free. Joshua currently has another film 'Tears on Yesterdays Skin' in production. All of Joshua's work can be seen on Youtube, for free.

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.
