A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Lenny Manzo has been in movie production for over 30 years, with over 10 years of experience in higher education at Emerson College. He has spent most of that time as a producer, director, and writer on a variety of projects. Mr. Manzo began his career as a sound mixer working on movies, TV, commercials, music videos, and corporate. Besides the audio department, he has worked in multiple departments, including camera, lighting, grip, and art department. He is the rare jack-of-all-trades in a business that is more focus-driven. Mr. Manzo took a hiatus from production to write and publish his first book, Above the Line, in 2011. In the same year, he was asked to work at Emerson College to head Production and to create the all-new Film and Media Safety Department in the Visual and Media Arts Department. During his time at Emerson, he produced safety movies, created other content for the college, and oversaw 3,000 student productions per school year.

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.
