Birthplace:
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
Anthony DiBlasi graduated film school at Emerson College in Boston MA. Upon moving to Los Angeles he became a protégé of filmmaker/novelist Clive Barker. DiBlasi partnered in Barker's production company Midnight Picture Show for nearly ten years, serving as a key executive & producer on films such as "Midnight Meat Train" (2008) and "Book of Blood" (2009). DiBlasi made his directorial debut with the psychological thriller "Dread" (2009), a feature film he wrote based on the Clive Barker short story of the same name. "Dread" was released theatrically in January of 2010 and went on to win Best Independent Feature at the 2010 Spike Scream Awards. He directed and co-wrote "Last Shift" a critically acclaimed supernatural horror film released by Magnolia Pictures in 2015. And directed "Extremity" a psychological thriller based on Extreme Haunts, released in 2018 by Epic Pictures. He is married to actress Natalie Victoria and spends his free time passing out sunglasses with Rowdy Roddy Piper. *Represented by Sheryl Petersen, Agency for the Performing Arts (APA)

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.
