Just a year after Blueprint’s Waiting For The World, Dan Magee debuted First Broadcast. Filmed over 12 months and premiered in December 2001, this wasn’t another Blueprint video, but rather a celebration of British skateboarding with skaters from a few different teams including Unabomber, Organic and of course Blueprint. First Broadcast stars Vaughan Baker, Franklin Stephens, Colin Kennedy, John Rattray, Paul Shier, Nick Jensen, Ali Cairns, a young Danny Brady, Toby Shuall, Mark Baines, Scott Palmer and more. Filmed by Magee and Adam Mondon this is without question a British classic.

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.
