A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:

Born:

Reiner was born Lucas Joseph Reiner in Los Angeles, California on August 17, 1960, the third child of actor, comedian, director and writer Carl Reiner and visual artist and performer Estelle (née Lebost) Reiner. He attributes his interest in art to his mother; both studied with painter Martin Lubner. Between 1978 and 1986, Reiner attended Parsons School of Design and The New School for Social Research in New York, Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, and Parsons School of Design Paris. He began exhibiting in group shows in New York (The Drawing Center, Grand Salon) and Los Angeles (Manny Silverman) in the early 1990s, before having his first solo exhibition of paintings at Bennett Roberts (1995, Los Angeles). In subsequent years, he has exhibited individually at Roberts & Tilton and Carl Berg Projects in Los Angeles, Galerie Biedermann and Galerie Peter Bauemler in Germany, and Galeria Traghetto and Claudia Gian Ferrari Arte Contemporanea in Italy, and in group exhibitions at L.A. Louver, CSU Luckman Gallery, Edward Cella Art + Architecture, and Bridge Projects, among others.
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.
