A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Jason B. Kohl’s award-winning films have screened at the Berlinale, SXSW, Locarno, NYFF, BFI London, Hot Docs, and Tallinn Black Nights. Most recently he completed Dancing With Le Pen (EP’d by Oscar Winner Laura Poitras), which premiered at the 2018 Sheffield Doc/Fest. His upcoming work includes two documentary features. The first, Eli, a Dog in Prison, is EP’d by Sophie Robinson (Emmy nominee for NETFLIX’s My Beautiful Broken Brain). The second, Recovery, is Refinery29’s first feature documentary. The film follows an incest survivor and her remarkable recovery process. Jason is a former Fulbright and DAAD Artist Scholar with an MFA from UCLA Film School.

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.
