New Town documents the progression of this iconic new town through the memory of Mike Kernan, an author who has written novels set in a fictional version of the town, showcasing how unique it was to grown up in Cumbernauld during the 60's & 70's. Originally created to accommodate the Glasgow overspill, Cumbernauld was built using pioneering architecture for its time, especially the town centre, which was the UK's first shopping centre and the world’s first fully enclosed town centre and it will soon be demolished. This film hopes to explore how the environment of this iconic new town has changed and how its defined the generations who grew up there. We'd really appreciate any support you're willing to give to make this film the best it can be.
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.
