A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Bonn, Germany
Eugen Bräunig is a filmmaker from Bonn, Germany, currently based in Los Angeles, California. He earned a degree in visual communication from the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2014, he moved to New York before eventually settling in Los Angeles. Bräunig is known for his contributions to several acclaimed documentaries, including: Captive Audience (2022), Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road (2021), and Welcome to Chechnya (2020). He co-founded Macrofilm, a Los Angeles-based documentary production company specializing in archival research and licensing. Bräunig views film as both an imaginative and meditative form of expression, capable of encapsulating complex ideas and perspectives. He likens the filmmaking process to a translation from mind to word to sound and images, emphasizing the blend of visionary thinking and serendipity involved. He believes that when executed well, film can reveal profound truths about humanity and the world we inhabit.

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.
