"Secured Tightly" is a story about three separate couples and how outside forces can wreak havoc on a relationship. Derrick (Jamey Clay-Brown) and Gabby (Tessie Wilmot) are a successful and accomplished interracial couple, determined to beat the odds despite many people's objections to their union. But when an old flame returns in Gabby's life, their confidence and commitment are tested. Breadwinner, Sean (Courtney Nichole), has her life turned upside down when she loses her job due to a customer's discomfort with her sexual orientation. As she tries to get back on her feet, she must work hard to maintain the confidence her supportive girlfriend, Latoya (Meke Rae), has in her. Jason (Jason "Lumberjack" Johnson) is a US service-member and all-American country boy who falls head-over-heels for Emily, (Amber Erwin) a free-spirited young artist. But after a year long deployment overseas, a lot has changed and they quickly learn that getting back to where they were a year ago won't be easy.
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.
