A day in the life of Laura and Corey, a married couple struggling with mental health issues. Corey has lost his job to alcoholism and is now trapped in a spiral of depressive hedonia, constantly in haste for the next fleeting high. Laura has found herself in a life confined by societal expectations, serving a life term of supporting her husband who is paralyzed by depression and addiction, and hopelessly wishing for a better life she'll never afford. The young couple live with clashing internal lives, Corey secretly coming closer to actualizing his suicidal ideation while Laura secretly hides a discovery that may weigh the couple deeper into an existential hell

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.
