After leaving school in the tenth grade, Sam decided to chase his dream of becoming a filmmaker. In 2010at age 16, he began his studies with MSIT, an institute that was quickly becoming well known for its output of industry ready talent. In 2012, Sam joined forces with fellow students Ryan Unicomb & Jordan Bailey to take part in the Brisbane 48 hour film project. The resulting film, 'A Quest of utmost importance' won the coveted audience choice award and recieved glowing reviews. Less than 6 months later, Sam once again teamed up with Ryan & Jordan to this time tackle the Origin8 24 hour film festival in Toowoomba Queensland. Their short film 'code Name: COTTON' was a top 8 finalist in the competition and also won the Origin8 award for originality. The production group was made up of 9 filmmakers under the ages of 25, all recieved much praise for their proffessionalism and execution. Sam's next project; 'DREAMING' is well into pre production and is expected to shoot in October 2012.

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.
