Christian Ditter (born 1977) is an award winning director, producer and screenwriter who has worked on films, television and commercials. He is best known for his films The Crocodiles (2009), Love, Rosie (2014), How to Be Single (2016), and the Netflix series Girlboss (2017). Ditter was born on March 9, 1977, in Giessen, Hesse. He graduated from the Evangelisch Stiftisches Gymnasium Gütersloh in 1996 and went to the University of Lüneburg from 1997 to 1998, majoring in Applied Cultural Studies. He then focused his studies on directing at the University of Television and Film Munich from 1998 to 2006. While in school, Ditter's short films Enchanted (2000) and Grounded (2003) won numerous awards at international film festivals. His debut feature film French for Beginners hit theaters in 2006. He subsequently directed on the Adolf Grimme Prize and the German Television Award-winning series Turkish for Beginners (2007) and on the award-winning series Doctor's Diary (2008). In 2008, he adapted the popular German children's book, The Crocodiles, for the big screen. The film won over fifty audience and jury awards at international film festivals and was followed up by two sequels, The Crocodiles Strike Back (2009) and The Crocodiles: All for One (2010), which he directed and produced respectively. He moved on to writing and directing Germany’s first major adventure film shot entirely in 3D, Vicky and the Treasure of the Gods, which debuted at No. 1 in the German box office. In 2014, he directed his first English-language feature Love, Rosie starring Lily Collins and Sam Claflin. In 2016, he followed it up with his U.S. debut How to Be Single starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie. After working with Kay Cannon on How to Be Single, they partnered with Charlize Theron's company Denver and Delilah to create the Netflix series Girlboss in 2017, loosely based on the book #Girlboss by Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso. Ditter is currently serving as the showrunner-director on the Netflix series Biohackers, which is set to be released in 2020.

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.
