Hudson Meek was born in Alabama and lived in the Birmingham suburb of Vestavia Hills. Along with his brother Tucker, he began acting at an early age. In 2014, he briefly appeared in the film The Santa Con, broadcast on the Lifetime television channel in 2014. He later appeared in episodes of the MacGyver reboot,[6] and as a young protagonist in Baby Driver in 2017. He also acted in the television series Found in 2023, and in the feature film The School Duel in 2024. He was cast as Chris Piper in the film 90 Minutes in Heaven. In September 2024, Meek had attended the Deauville American Film Festival in France, where The School Duel, a dystopian thriller film in which he participated, premiered. On December 19, 2024, Meek fell from a vehicle traveling in Vestavia Hills. He was taken to University Hospital in Birmingham, where he died from his injuries on December 21, 2024, aged 16.
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.
