A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born:
January 30, 1990
This quirky French filmmaker has started directing films when she was 9 in her bedroom using plushies and LEGO for actors and sets. A storyteller at heart, with a passion for stop-motion animation and shooting on actual film (whether 8, 16 or 35), now with a Bachelor in Philosophy and a Master in film, she has directed over 30 shorts and two features. An activist for LGBTQIA+ rights and civil liberties, she always aims to offer a nurturing and safe work environment whether on set or at the office. To be fair, not much has changed since she was 9 telling stories in her bedroom one frame at a time.

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.
