If I Can Dream is the first of a new generation of post reality entertainment. Created by Simon Fuller, If I Can Dream documents the authentic story of five young people who dream of success in Hollywood, revealing every moment of triumph and struggle along the way. It allows viewers to interact with the individuals and the narrative in real time. If I Can Dream gives open access to a show in a way that has not been attempted before. Watch every move live online as they rehearse, write, socialize and plan their careers. Will these aspiring hopefuls have what it takes to succeed and who will be next to join If I Can Dream via a public audition process? Interactive audience participation makes If I Can Dream a fascinating cultural experiment, opening up the American Dream and democratizing the process of the making of a star.

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.
