A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Lucy McNulty (she/her) is an actor, playwright, and filmmaker whose work champions diverse, underrepresented voices. Her debut short film, CHICKEN (Edmonton International, ReelAbilities, Micheaux, British Urban Film Festival), which she wrote, directed, produced, and starred in, has garnered international acclaim, winning Jury’s Choice and the DEAI Award for Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion at the Thomas Edison Film Festival. The film also won a Leo Award, Best Performance at Oska Bright (Brighton, UK), Best Overall Film at the Women’s Comedy Film Festival (Atlanta), Best Script at Santa Barbara ShortFest, and Best International Short at Big Syn (London). CHICKEN has been recognized by the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation, the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, the National Down Syndrome Society and featured in 3.21: Canada’s Down Syndrome Magazine, The LowDOWN: A Down Syndrome Podcast, the CTV Morning Show, AMI’s DisRUPT, the World Down Syndrome Congress (Australia), and the National Down Syndrome Summit (California). It was acquired by CBC. Lucy is the founder of Strange Company Productions, with whom she has produced award-winning content such as Riley Davis’s Attendance (Whistler 2024, Pendance 2025), and soon to hit the festival circuit is Lili Beaudoin and Isabelle Deluces’ At the End starring Avan Jogia (Zombieland), Manon Beaudoin’s The Ballad of Niall McNeil, a short form musical spaghetti-western series written and starring Niall McNeil and Kelly McCormack’s How Brief starring Emmy winning and Golden Globe-nominated Tatianna Maslany. She is a co-founder of DropShock Pictures with whom she produced Markian Tarasiuk’s Hunting Matthew Nichols (Whistler 2024, in competition for Borsos Best Canadian Feature; FilmQuest 2024 (Best Editing, Best Found Footage Film); Blood in The Snow 2024 (Best Directing), Available Light 2025).

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.
