I started my career in the editing department some 22 years ago following in the footsteps of my father, Chris Blunden, and my Grandfather, Bill Blunden who are both Editors. Watching them both work in the cutting room as I grew up and watching them work with celluloid on the Moviola and Steinbeck. The close bonds they shared with their colleagues and the love and effort they put into there work was one of the many reasons I fell in love with film. When I was old enough I left school to pursue my career in film and television hoping one day to edit. The feeling of editing with film and seeing a story come together is the best feelings in the world and is a feeling I will never tire of. Over those years I have progressed through the department learning my craft, honing my knowledge and skills. As you will see from my CV I have worked as an assistant editor on many notable films and television projects. Over the last 5 years I have been trying slowly to make the transition to full Editor. I started by assembling sequences on projects I was working on alongside my assistant duties and doing any small editing work I could get. Whilst I was working as the assistant editor on “Hetty Feather” I was asked to assemble some episodes. The Producer, Foz Allan, was impressed enough with my work that he offered me three episodes of the show to cut as full Editor. My past work includes 'The Rising' for Sky Studios and 'The Capture' for the BBC. Most recently I have finished on 'Screw' series 2 and am about to embark on three episodes of 'After the flood

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.
