A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Raised in Baltimore, Maryland, award winning film maker London May began his acting career early in Baltimore's renowned Children's Theater Association. After a long break to pursue a burgeoning and successful music career, London returned to acting in 2010, studying comedy improv at The iO West and classic theater with Uranium Madhouse, where he made his Los Angeles stage debut in "The Duchess Of Malfi." He was also cast in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises," co-starred in the pilot episode of Ron Howard's "The Great Escape", and "Cold Sweat", a short directed by James Cameron's DP Paul Babin. Since then London has been busy with roles on The Disney Channel, Discovery Channel, Oxygen Channel, TNT, as well as leading roles in numerous films and stage productions (most notably in "Saw" director Darren L. Bousman's acclaimed "The Tension Experience.") London is also a sought after music video actor and he has been seen over 50 million times in various videos from Hilary Duff, Aimee Mann, American Football, Strung Out, et al. In 2019 May produced and starred in the sensational Black Metal horror comedy short "Brutal Realty, Inc." which garnered rave reviews and won 8 international film festival awards. Besides acting on screen and stage, London May is also a highly regarded musician, best known as drummer and bassist with legendary singer Glenn Danzig's seminal goth punk group Samhain. During his long and continuing music career London's playing has been featured on over 30 releases and he has performed with such popular artists as Tiger Army, Son Of Sam (with Davey Havok of AFI), Lol Tolhurst (of The Cure), Lee Ving (of FEAR), Pat Smear (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Exene Cervenka (of X), Dag Nasty, Cold Cave, acclaimed artist Doug Aiken, Boredoms, Reptile House, Jackass star Chris Pontius, Rikk Agnew (Christian Death), and Distorted Pony. In 2016 Cleopatra Records released "Devilution: The Early Years," a deluxe retrospective CD/LP of London's earliest recordings and in 2017 he joined the legendary Black Metal group, Ritual. In 2020 London began drumming for Industrial legends MINISTRY.

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.
