A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Lorna Tucker spent her 20's working behind the camera and jumping on tour buses with bands such as Unkle, Lupe Fiasco, The Cult and Queens of The Stone Age creating tour videos and music promos. After cutting her teeth working with bands she moved into longer format storytelling, directing documentaries, writing scripts and creating more experimental video art projects for the likes of Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Nike, Redbull and ShowStudio. This January saw her first feature documentary Westwood - Punk Icon Activist chosen for competition and debuted to great acclaim at the 2018 Sundance Film festival. Since then it has been featured at various prominent film festivals including True/False and CPH:DOX 2018. Westwood is a definitive look at the life, fashion and activism of one of Britain's most iconic and original designers. Lorna has received rave reviews for Westwood with audiences turning out in their droves to see this thoroughly entertaining film in theatres around the UK ! This summer will see the release of Amá, a feature documentary, which because of its socially sensitive nature has taken over 9 years to bring to fruition. Produced by Raindog Films and to be released through Dartmouth Films, Amá is a gentle yet powerful film about the sterilization abuses of Native American women across the United States during the last 60 years. Next up: Lorna has written several screenplays and the first of these will go into pre production with Ged Doherty and Collin Firth's Raindog films this summer with Lorna once again in the directors chair.

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.
