A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born in India and raised in the U.S., George Hull started his creative path with a BFA Degree in Industrial Design. Growing up in a small midwest town, a career in the film industry seemed impossible—a "ridiculous" pursuit he was told by his instructors. But George's dreams for film design became reality when Lucasfilm's prestigious visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, noticed his talent and offered him a position on their creative team, just out of school. At ILM, George's earliest credit was Oscar winner Forrest Gump. He then quickly climbed to be a lead Visual Effects Art Director, working on films like Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park 2, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi special editions. After 6 years at ILM, George left to form George Hull Design. As an independent, he is always pursuing the most creative stage of a film's visual development. As one of Hollywood's leading conceptual designers, George specialises in creating unique and imaginative worlds, including the cinematography, settings, and vehicles that live within them. Recently George worked as a Senior Conceptual Designer on the highly acclaimed Dune as well as Blade Runner 2049, Star Wars IIV, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Cloud Atlas, V for Vendetta, the science fiction epic The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions and The Matrix Resurrections, and The Batman and Thor: Love & Thunder.

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.
