A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
After spending several years in sales and account management, I then followed my real passion to devote my life to marketing and media production and graduated with a Communication Arts (with an emphasis in film) Associate’s degree. In 2012, I ventured to Seattle, WA to produce and co-direct a short narrative film, while jointly working in account management full-time at a company that provided marketing analytics software and professional services. Both these roles helped highlight and further develop my project management, communication, and video production skills, and also filled me with a great foundation in marketing for brands and film. Upon wrapping production in late 2013, I eagerly headed back to my hometown of St. Louis to use my talents in production and collaborate with other like-minded professionals as a freelancer. Since then, I’ve enjoyed experiences with television and documentaries and video editing for live events. I excel in production management roles where I can best utilize my strong organizational skills, but I’m also creative in nature, thus great at video editing and content writing. I am always looking for that next exciting project to fill my nights and weekends.

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.
