A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Eric Alan Donaldson is a producer, director and editor. His professional career in production spans nearly 20 years. His first job was as a film runner, driving film dailies to and from the studios. The subsequent years he held a variety below-the-line positions from Grip, to Camera, to Editor, eventually working his way up to Producer, and later, Executive Producer at Los Angeles based FXF Productions. He has directed, produced and/or edited a variety of content, from commercials to documentaries. And from music videos to feature films. He has worked on advertising and marketing campaigns for Volkswagen, Philips, Activision, Purina, Nike, Red Bull, and Sea-Doo. From 2005 - 2007 he produced 44 episodes of the popular Docu-TV action sports show "GRR-TV" for The Outdoor Channel.
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.
