For Hee-chul, a deliveryman, his future is unclear. His father, who comes to see him, is a violent alcoholic, and it is his grandmother who cooks for him. One day, Yeon-ju, a college student in a similar situation to Hee-chul, asks him to play the lead role in one of her short films. Hee-chul dreams and hopes for the possibility of finding a new relationship through film. But reality belies his dreams. His grandmother, who is tired of the grim reality of life, leaves a note saying that she can no longer live with him and moves out of his house to begin a brand new life. And soon after, his father gets involved in bad financial dealings and becomes a wanted man. Hee-chul realizes that he cannot rely on his family or lover and turns to the faint hope he holds for film-making.

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.
