A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Christian was enrolled in theatre when he was in the eighth grade by his mother, as she was desperately trying to find some way to maintain his focus in school despite being diagnosed with tourettes not too long before that. Initially theatre was an excuse to goof off and finally have the girls pay attention to him. Soon he decided to make acting into a career choice. Most of his experience is in theatre. Christian has performed all over the United States, including playing William Barfee in the second national tour ('08/'09) of Broadway's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He continues to perform as well as write, direct, and produce.
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.
