Richard Lowry began making super 8 films as a young teen, then after seeing 'Star Wars' committed himself to becoming a serious filmmaker. Lowry's first film, 'Hawk Jones', starred an all-child cast and was filmed in his hometown of Moline, Illinois. The film has since established a cult following and as of August, 2014, is playing in movie theaters nationwide as part of the Alamo Drafthouse film circuit. Lowry has directed several independent features which have been distributed worldwide, two of which were produced for Dark Horse Comics. 'Monarch of the Moon', a satire of the 40's serials, was hailed by film critic Leonard Maltin as "...the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow' aspired to be." With his latest feature 'Dominion' completed, Lowry has one film in pre-production and several in development, including an 'ultimate Star Wars short fan film'.

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.
