John Francis McCullagh was born in Merrick, New York, the youngest of four in a family of artists. At eight months old, his family relocated to Dallas, Texas. Surrounded by music, art, film, and literature, John Francis was inspired to pursue filmmaking at the early age of four. His passion lies in martial arts film, focusing on intricate choreography backed by gripping storytelling. He is also passionate about incorporating his Irish heritage into his storytelling where possible. A jack-of-all-trades, John Francis writes and directs, and typically stars in his own projects where he performs his own fight scenes and stunts. A passionate animal lover, he went vegetarian at 8 years old, and vegan at 25. Proudly married to Courtney McCullagh.
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.
