A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
His first introduction to filmmaking was figuring out how to make his little brother disappear and reappear using a primitive, in-camera jump-cut with his dad’s VHS camera for their Matrix-style fan film. Years later, while attending NC State, he took an intro to film course on a whim. After the first class, he quickly switched his biology major to film studies and haven’t looked back since. His work has been recognized by the American Advertising awards, the Global Trend Triumph awards, and several film festivals. He has been fortunate to see projects go from concept to finish, interacting with clients throughout the entire process. His projects ranges from corporate/commercial video with big tech such as Red Hat, Lenovo, Cisco, and Intel to work on feature films premiering at the Tribeca International Film festival and reality TV on national networks. He's passionate about sci-fi films, running, the issue of climate change, and representation of people of color in media. He's currently work as an art director of video on Red Hat’s internal creative agency in Raleigh and he runs Negative Split Films as a platform for narrative short films shot in North Carolina.

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.
