A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Amy Geist is a producer, director, writer, and founder of Beloved Root. Hailing from Ohio, she made a five-year pit-stop in Chicago before landing in Los Angeles. She collaborates with emerging filmmakers and nurtures relationships with vendors, clients, and crew, hammering out budgets, scripts, decks, and mood boards. She has worked in almost every department, always striving to be a well-rounded ally. She started in Los Angeles as a freelance Producer and Production Manager at The Woo Agency, working with such clients as Lenovo (*Telly Award Winning), Disney, Sebastian, Motorola, Marvel, Milani, Bosch, Braun, and Delonghi. Her feature film and television work include Blade Runner 2049 (Alcon Entertainment *Academy Award Winning), Little (Universal), The Exorcist (Fox), Alex Inc (ABC), and most recently, Trees of Peace (Abstract Entertainment). In 2018, she wrote and produced the short film "The Way You Saw Me," which screened at twelve film festivals and won Runner-Up for Best Narrative Short at Denver Underground Film Festival and Bronze Film Award for Narrative Dramatic Short at WorldFest Houston.

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.
