A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
An event producer who went from throwing multimillion-dollar parties on Wall Street to being ‘memed’ worldwide, Andy King shot to stardom after his involvement with the infamous Fyre Festival. Andy grew up in a privileged community in Massachusetts, and from an early age had a hustle mentality. He went on to cultivate a bustling career in NY. He built a restaurant and a hotel and was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. The organizers of Fyre Festival notably asked Andy to free up water provisions for the event, and well, the rest is history. Andy is the ultimate storyteller and has no problem embellishing a narrative to draw people in. While he may have lost his anonymity thanks to Fyre Fest, he couldn’t be more thrilled to get it back and wield it to his advantage in this competition. He’s playing because he knows he can win.
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.
