A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Josh Hoffman is an award-winning filmmaker from Portland, Oregon. He started filmmaking at age twelve and studied at the Northwest Film Center through high school. In addition to earning a certificate in Film from UCLA Extension, Hoffman earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon in Asian Studies with a focus on Korean cinema. In Seoul for ten years, he spent time writing and producing for Korean production companies as well as working for the Korean Film Council. He also assisted foreign films shooting in Korea and worked with Korean crews on local productions. Hoffman has organized many international co-productions and this continues to be his main focus.

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.
