A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Adam J. Segal is a film, television, and issues publicist based in the New York region. He founded The 2050 Group, a full-service publicity and marketing agency, in 2006. The agency's work is often focused on film, television, and digital projects that are at the intersection of entertainment and issues (whether they are political, social, cultural and whether they are domestic or international). In 2017, agency clients received 23 Emmy® Award nominations and 3 Academy Award® nominations and agency clients received over 100 industry awards nominations in the past four years. Segal's publicity campaigns are often built around films and other content (including series, features, and shorts), television broadcasts, theatrical releases, major film festivals, digital/VOD and DVD/Blu-ray releases, and awards campaigns. He has been a speaker at numerous film industry events including the International Documentary Association's Doc-U series, Doc Nyc Pro conference, and the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. While working in the PR field, Segal served on the faculties of graduate-level communications programs at Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown University for nearly a decade. He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and The George Washington University.
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.
