A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Neal Mulani
From the suburbs outside of Boston, Neal Mulani is a rising writer-director with a proclivity for autobiographical narratives about the queer experience. Raised by a father from Mumbai and a mother from Boston, Neal spent his childhood at the crossroad of two cultures and turned to film to articulate his experiences. Neal’s introduction to storytelling began at an early age with theater, instilling in him a fundamental appreciation for character, story and improvisation. His work explores shame, self-perception, masculinity & parenthood as they relate to the queer experience. A recent graduate of the Film & TV Production program at USC, Neal has worked for companies such as Cinetic Media, Lionsgate, and Plan B Entertainment, and currently works as an assistant to the Chairman of Universal. His first film, FISH TANK, premiered in competition at IFFBoston before completing an international festival run. His second short, FROM THE TOP, had its world premiere this summer at Palm Springs International ShortFest.

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.
