Matt Kugelman studied filmmaking at the University of Southern California and Columbia College in Chicago. After graduation he worked as a researcher for Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. He was then quickly promoted after editing a series of comedic short videos for Moore's speaking tour that received standing ovations across the country! Kugelman started working as the editor and photographer of the CBS News on Logo Show. In addition to producing a new show every day, he travelled throughout North America and produced numerous half-hour specials. In 2010, Kugelman started working at the CBS Evening News editing breaking news with tight deadlines. In 2012 He was recruited by the CBS: This Morning Show as an editor on feature stories. More recently, he wrote and directed his first full length feature film, Hurricane Bianca, which sold out theaters in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, and Amsterdam. The film found distribution through Wolfe Releasing and sold to iTunes, Vimeo, Amazon and Netflix! Kugelman is now developing a sequel to the film called Hurricane Bianca: From Russia With Hate.

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.
