His short film and music video work has been selected for film festivals all over the world, including SXSW, the Los Angeles Music Video Festival, and the Berlin Music Video Awards. He has also has written and directed long form content and TV shows. His creative passions are graphic visual ideas, storytelling, horror and twisted comedy.
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:
