From West Greenland, I sailed 3,728 miles over eight weeks to Nunavut to explore and document the arctic wildlife in Lancaster Sound for those who cannot witness it first-hand. The pinnacle of my expedition was undoubtedly close encounters with the majestic, yet gentle polar bears. For me, there is no better feeling than being close to those magnificent mammals, sharing space with them. I aspire to bring a fresh perspective of capturing wildlife we already know from still photography through video. Videos allow us to observe and document wildlife behaviors from a new approach, revealing the animals in their entirety as well as in a wider habitat and landscape. Now is the time to act; I want my photos to help inspire conservation and to create a larger Marine Conservation Area.
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.
