A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Drew Monahan has been passionate about creating art since he was a boy. The theatre was his first outlet. He studied and worked in technical direction. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with a BFA in Scenic Design and Production. Monahan bounced around a couple of states after college, running production shops for musicals, drama, opera, and some trade show events. Finally landing in Atlanta. He freelanced for a while, building scenery for a reality show, movies, TV shows, and some rigging. Then Monahan worked for a musical theatre company, designing and building plays for two years. From there, a colleague and he started a production company, supplying designs and built scenery, light, and sound packages to a variety of clients in the Atlanta area. Then an opportunity to work in film and television became a reality, which had been a dream of his since he was a child. He jumped in as a carpenter and began moving himself up the ladder. He worked in construction, paint, set design, and props, but he found that he missed designing and managing projects and productions. In 2011, he made the move to the art department, and he feels he has found his place in this industry. He looks forward to each new production and strives to excel and shine.

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.
