Dakota Ray (formerly Dakota Bailey) is a Denver based Native American filmmaker/actor/artist known for his gritty and ultra realistic horror/exploitation films that focus primarily on evil, drugs, nihilism, religion, immorality, death, violence, scumbags, and serial killers. Dakota Ray consistently grows as a filmmaker/actor/artist, and explores a new facet of his film making style with each passing film. Ray considers each film he makes to be a serious artistic endeavor and personal statement. At a young age, Dakota Ray developed an interest in cinema and began making films as a child with a battered camcorder. As Ray grew older, he developed his film making craft through experiential learning. Some of Ray's best known works include "Sebastian's Unholy Flesh '(2020), 'American Antichrist' (2018), 'The Acid Sorcerer' (2017), and 'American Scumbags' (2016).

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.
