Fifteen-year-old Jo is stuck, unable to cope with the loss of her mother and the overwhelming need of her father to connect. Instead, she drowns herself in her work, shutting out the world. When her older brother secretly gets accepted into college without telling her, Jo is forced to rethink her priorities and reevaluate what truly matters in her life. On a whim, Jo decides to hike the California coast as a summer pilgrimage. To her surprise, her clueless and well-meaning father agrees to join her, turning her personal journey into the most dysfunctional father-daughter road trip imaginable. Together, they navigate the wild beauty of the California coastline and confront the emotional challenges they’ve both been avoiding. Along the way, Jo and her dad discover the power of love, healing, and learning to let go. Jo is a quirky, heartfelt indie family film about rediscovering connection and finding oneself through the journey of grief and growth.

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.
