A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

November 15, 1977
From a childhood in Owensboro, KY, shooting short horror films with neighborhood friends, Byron always had a love for cinema. Over the last decade Byron worked with tireless enthusiasm and optimism on multiple projects as a Writer, Director, Editor, and Singer/Performer. This is only the beginning. After attending various film and television courses throughout High school and college in Orlando, Florida, Byron immediately worked on multiple local productions in every role from P.A. to 1st A.D. In 2006 Byron utilized this experience to Write, Produce, Direct, and Edit the feature film Night; which was quickly acquired for worldwide home distribution. Relocating to Seattle, Washington Byron directed music videos for bands including The Break Up, Legion Within, Cylab, and Endless Sunder. He also directed the short film Phantom Theater. For 8 years Byron was a member of the Industrial band GOD MODULE, bringing his over the top style to their live shows. He performed live at venues across the globe, and created all video material for the band. In 2015 Byron achieved new heights as a filmmaker and Singer/performer. As the lead singer/lyricist, Byron brought his unbridled enthusiasm to the new Shock Rock band, Ghosts in the Graveyard. Their first single and music video “Better in Black” debuted in September, followed by a charismatic live performance on Halloween. December saw the worldwide release of Byron’s second feature film, The Anatomy of Monsters; a soul bearing story about the darkest impulses of the human psyche. Byron is currently attached to Direct two original new Horror films, both in ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT in Hollywood, CA with Johnny Sullivan/Blackout Films.

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.
