A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Dustin Waldman is a filmmaker, writer and editor based in New York. Short films he wrote and directed have played at festivals like SXSW, Rotterdam, Sidewalk, Indie Memphis, Rooftop Films and Nobudge Live. In 2023 he was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film. Vulture once described his work as “cringe-comedy psychodrama.” As an editor he’s worked on many award-winning narrative and documentary films, including Faya Dayi, Are We Not Cats, ESPN’s 30 for 30 Short Deerfoot of the Diamond and the Camerimage winning A Mouthful of Petrol. He has also edited many short documentaries for the Museum of Modern Art.

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.
