A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

A once shy, thoughtful and observant child, Robert McAtee was always questioning day-to-day mysteries and putting them under the light. A romance with movies led him to waking up one day as an actor, and life experience has brought integrity and edge along for the ride. Indie Slate Magazine recently featured a cover article on Robert who is known for leading roles in independent film - including the multi-festival and award nominated film, Trail of Crumbs (2008). Published reviews for his work have described his varied performances as "Strong," "Stellar," and "Top-Notch," and he was recently observed in a Vanity Fair article. Robert continues to find mystery and shine a light back on the audience - not only as an actor but also as a musician and filmmaker.

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.
