Biography from TheMovieDB

Taryn is a filmmaker, painter, queer feminist, and exhausted mother with experience in costuming, theme park design, children’s theater, and education. She met her longtime collaborator Dan while working at Walt Disney Imagineering where they contributed to the Frozen Ever After attraction in Orlando. She earned a Themed Entertainment Award for her work on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (Orlando). Taryn and Dan are currently promoting their animated short, The Finger Wife (summer 2025).  She wrote and directed the short film Double Feature in 2019, inspired by her love of old screwball comedies and theaters that still project 35mm. Taryn is also a musician and painter, and her personal essay about being a queer Buddhist was published by Lion’s Roar in 2024 as a featured article for Pride Month. She was raised in Orange County, CA and now lives in Chicago, though her heart will always belong to Los Angeles.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
