A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
After graduating in International Relations from Sapienza University of Rome, he began working as a video operator and editor for the Rai and Mediaset networks. Simultaneously, he pursued courses in directing and screenwriting, as well as engaging in self-study. Additionally, he created his first short films and experimental videos. He produced and directed several independent music videos. In 2019, one of his projects, "A Homogeneous Whole," won the European festival "Proud of Our Heritage, Open to the World," organized by the Italian Delegation at the Council of Europe. In 2020, the short film "Le Vite Possibili" (“Possible Lives”), after participating in numerous festivals, was featured on the Shorts TV channel of Amazon Prime Video and later acquired by Rai Cinema. In 2022, he founded Reboto Production Srl, a film production company based in Rome and Calabria. In the same year, he was awarded the “Public Notice in Support of Audiovisual Productions in Calabria 2022.” In 2023, he directed "Fuliggine" (“Foulness”), a short film entirely shot in Serra San Bruno (VV), his hometown, and produced by Reboto Production in collaboration with the Calabria Film Commission.
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.
