Thomas S. Hammock
Tom Hammock grew up in Northern California, where his father studies venoms, insects, and other odd creatures. As such, most family vacations were spent in the wilderness, often hunting for previously said creatures and their venoms. Hammock lived in a number of places around the world, including, but not limited to, Australia and England.Eventually these wanderings came to a halt for a time, making Hammock's mother quite happy, and he studied landscape architecture at UC Berkeley. This led to studying production design at the American Film Institute and a lot of subsequent work designing films. Among the films are You’re Next, The Guest, All The Boys Love Mandy Lane, Blair Witch, and The Devil’s Candy. Presently Hammock lives in Hollywood, where he reviews/teaches design from time to time at the Directing Workshop for Women, AFI, and UCBerkeley and designs films when he's not writing graphic novels. An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will O' the Wisp, illustrated by Megan Hutchison, is Hammock's first graphic novel. He designed Blindspotting, opened Sundance 2018, the TV show Them for Amazon Studios, Godzilla vs. Kong for director Adam Wingard, and X and Pearl for Ti West/A24.

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.
