A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Motke Dapp is a Nashville-based writer and director who always tries to eat a balanced breakfast at least once a day. He’s handcrafted, along with many amazing filmmakers, a plethora of award-winning short films and a couple of feature films. He got his start in filmmaking by competing in the 48 Hour Film Project. Motke’s most recent feature film, Another Version of You, premiered at the Nashville Film Festival in 2018, winning the Audience Award. The film was the third most screened film in the festival’s 49 year history. It also won Best Feature Film and Motke won Best Director at the 2018 Cindependent Film Festival and The Daniel Chapp Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Lake County Film Festival. The film will be available in the US in November, 2019. Motke makes a living directing commercials and is busy working on plans for the next feature film. Motke’s home is in Nashville, but he has a car and the ability to find airports because he never wants the adventures to end. To see Motke’s work, visit motke.net.

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.
