"ISO is a short film about diabetes— showing one of my near-daily routines that seems dull and repetitive to me, yet weird and unordinary to others un-touched by type 1 diabetes. The term “iso” is known as a prefix meaning equal- I see it as a nod to this process being my regular despite it not being the equal or same as others’. “ISO” can also be read as “in search of”…consider this piece a posting “in search of” belonging and of people who share similar challenges. I have found that many times our differences and struggles can isolate us, but I have also found that it is these differences that draw us closest together when we find individuals who share similar ones." - Samuel Letnik

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.
