A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Matthew Smith
Birthplace:
Highlands Ranch, Colorado, USA
Born:
February 2, 1990
Matthew moved from Denver, Colorado to Los Angeles, California in 2011, where he was quickly introduced to the entertainment industry. With a background within the creative realm, (Landscape Architecture) there was an immediate interest regarding the creative potential that the entertainment business had to offer. His initial opportunities were presented in front of the camera as a model/actor. He quickly developed his reputation and proved his creative abilities. Matthew is now a well-known world wide male fashion model and has also proven himself as a reputable writer and producer within the creative realm. Having appeared on shows such as New Girl, Stitchers, Face off, and Americas Next Top Model, (to name a few) he not only has a unique influencing ability, but also provides a creative resume to back up his social worth and academic value.
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.
