“If you meet me, pretend you don't know me”, “I'm not like you”, are now classic phrases in the “furtive and veiled” homosexual relationship. This is for those who, out of fear, compromise or a thousand other reasons, decide to live their sexuality in a dissociated way. The "official" one, heterosexuality, and the clandestine one, homosexuality. Some do it very well ... others less so. Situations of this kind are more frequent than they appear. This short film wants to give the idea of how easy it is to border on melodrama in such cases.
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.
