The true life events of four friends come to screen with a story of self-discovery, pain of friendship, love of loss.
"Cold Side of the Pillow" is seen through the eyes of four characters-but is interwoven within 20 stories. The four main stories surround: Elizabeth, a girl who would rather ignore her fears then faces them because facing them mean struggle and self-sacrifice. Edward is plainly contempt in his life, until a traumatic event changes how he feels about everyone and everything; causing his reactions and opinions to change-and intern his personality. This effects the rest of the characters sending them into a whirlwind of anger and frustration leading each one to confront their own demons and each others. While the intense possible romantic situation of Edward and Liz loom in the possible future, Sophie and Darrel struggle with their long term relationship being based on a lie; as their commitment to each other struggles, Sophie begins to question what man she really wants to be with. As their lives become more violent, is seems to mirror the past and the possible future; as the parents of the characters also struggle with abandonment and planning for impending deaths and possible births. As the years go by each character struggles to find his or her own voice and spirit, searching out for council wherever they can; and finding some guidance from some warm and interesting characters.

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.
