A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Erin Mackellin is a filmmaker based in Melbourne, Australia. As a child, filming on her Kodak Easyshare and editing bits of footage together sparked a passion for filmmaking. Her school teachers could never take her camera away from her, earning Erin a lunchtime detention. Her short film, ‘the_fishbowl’ won Best Science and Technology Film at the Cannes World Film Festival as well as winning Best Original Story at the Los Angeles Film Awards. Her love for aesthetics and architecture lead her to working as a Production Designer. With years of experience and a focal point on the narrative realm, Erin has worked on a variety of mediums as a Production Designer; including the upcoming feature films, ‘Westgate’ - MIFF 2025, Ramblin', and Paper Doll Her work focuses on youth, nostalgia, mental health and parasocial relationships. When she isn’t on set, Erin is probably staying up until the early hours of the morning researching maps, development projects and theories about the universe. Erin is currently working on her next short film, ‘Circumference’ as a Writer/Director, along with some long form projects in the works.
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.
