Doug Orchard, MLS, is The Motivation Factor’s Producer, Director, Cinematographer & Editor. He directed his first documentary film in 2009, ‘The Truth about Pandemic Flu’ which featured former US Health Secretary and 4-term Governor, Tommy Thompson, and the CDC, FDA, and world-leading scientists. He directed, filmed and edited ‘The Motivation Factor’ by himself (which he started in 2013), and shortly after beginning this project, he directed, filmed and edited ‘Revenue Reserve (2014)’ which received strong praise from that niche industry of commercial real estate. He completed ‘Fasting‘ in December 2017. As a filmmaker, Mr. Orchard is interested in ideas that were universally practised historically but stopped as a consequence of technology, and its value to merits reconsideration with recent scientific “discovery.” He works with the world’s leading scientists, historians, and subject experts. For, The Motivation Factor, he saw how at-risk children in inner cities could overcome circumstances through PE, which the film demonstrates. Mr Orchard is politically neutral as a filmmaker. He takes a unique research approach to his films. He does not write out the film prior to his interviews, nor does he write questions prior to his interviews, but builds the entire project organically, and simply follows the story where it leads.

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.
