Operation Superstar is a satirical exploration of the contemporary underground DJ scene in Melbourne, investigating the dialogue between individualist and collective mindsets. The film follows two friends, rife with separate naiveties, as they venture into nocturnal chaos with one simple mission, to unsheathe their sacred USB drive and play a DJ set by any means. The only problem is, they aren’t booked anywhere. Their plan takes them on a surreal whirlwind and a night of transformation, punctuated by encounters with comical spiritual mentors including a techno sensei, a giant rat, a hot-pink demon and a gang of predatory scallywags.

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.
