An irreverent LGBTQIA+ comedy with color, exploring what it means to come of age and the evolution of people in one's life. This provocative story follows “The Washup”, an Oscar-winning child star who is now a 30-something hermit, and a young bisexual virgin film student and his childhood friends as they attend the town's second best community college, Trillberry Community College. The students will create the “next award-winning LGBTQIA+ coming of age film" led by an underwhelming white cis male film professor who brings “The Washup”, his best friend, out of hermitom to help save his job by directing and writing the film. With every turn comes another c**kblock as the class and The Washup discover that not everyone in town, or even in the college, wants them to succeed.
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.
