A love letter to all unknown musicians in the world from an indie band from Tongyeong, located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. It’s okay if you don’t know! It’s okay to be wrong! The origin story of an indie band in the seaside town of Tongyeong. A baker, a bookstore owner, a restaurant owner, and a dog lover live busy lives in the beautiful seaside town of Tongyeong. ‘Listening to Us is Your Duty’ is a band they created by chance. Although they never officially learned music, they created one song after another that is unique and different. Far away from the Korean music industry which is full of harsh competition, these amateur musicians find a new world. Listening to the songs written by those who live in Tongyeong is... your duty!

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.
