Diane Foster is an American Producer based in Los Angeles. Her feature film, "IOWA", starring Rosanna Arquette, John Savage and Michael T. Weiss, was nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. During the making of "IOWA", Foster spent five years investigating the meth epidemic in Middle America, which lead to the documentary "Dying for Meth", which was awarded Best Documentary at the Prism Awards and nominated with CBS' Cares and NBC's The More You Know. Foster also produced the 2011 horror cult classic "The Orphan Killer", and its sequel "Bound X Blood: The Orphan Killer 2", about a serial killer hell-bent on teaching his estranged sister about family loyalty in 80s-style slasher fashion. The merchandise for these 2 horror films is sold in Walmart and Sears. Foster then went on to produce the pilot for the web series Lettuce, a comedy about midlife crisis, sex and aliens. She just finished Executive Producing the short film, "Dissonance" written by Rafi Jacobs whose successful Indie Go-Go campaign donated a percentage of the fundraising to The Trevor Project. In 2018, Diane launched her own production company, WallyBird Productions, to produce all forms and genres of media, worldwide. Under the WallyBird banner, the company saw its first theatrical production run in San Francisco in October 2018 - James McClure's pair of one-act comedies: Laundry and Bourbon and Lone Star. WallyBird Productions finished production most recently on the romantic comedy short, "SHIRi" written by Grace Yee & directed by Micah Coate and "Make A Wish" a dark frenetic comedy directed by Dinh Thai. Diane is committed to producing projects with diverse talent, gender equality, and creating the teams responsible for films that push the envelope with high entertainment value and substance.

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.
