Biography from TheMovieDB

American countertenor Brennan Hall was born in Brooklyn, New York and made his film debut in Matthew Barney's River of Fundament, a non-traditional filmed opera. He started singing at the age 7 and is the only musician in his family. He made his debut singing at Carnegie Hall in a Master Class with Martin Katz as part of Marilyn Horne's annual series, The Song Continues. He also sings professionally with the American Bach Soloists, based in San Francisco and Bach Vesper at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City. Hall performed several scenes from Barney's film at the 2012 Summer Holland Festival in Amsterdam. He performed the title role in Phillip Glass's Akhnaten with the Indianapolis Opera Company. This summer he will perform the lead role of Oberon in Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream with Opera on The Avalon, and the role of Arsamene in Handel's Xerxes with Bel Canatanti Opera. Hall has performed the roles of the Spirit in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and as Willie in Small Box, a new one-act opera by librettist Bruce L. Pearson and composer Herman Whitfield III. He has also appeared in scenes as Sesto in Giulio Cesare, Orfeo in Orfeo ed Euridice, and Malcome in La Donna del Lago at the Jacobs School of Music.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
