A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
The third of four children, Cedric Gegel grew up in Wapakoneta, Ohio. A performer from a young age, Cedric graduated from Wapakoneta High School in 2013 and from Capital University, where he studied theatre, public relations, and English literature, in 2017. Cedric co-founded Just a Skosh Productions and, under that company's banner, wrote and directed his debut feature film, the indie family fantasy "Cadia: The World Within," starring Corbin Bernsen and James Phelps. Additionally, he wrote the screenplay for the cancer drama "Forbearance," starring Vernon Wells, and also appears in a supporting role in the film. He stars as the titular character in the ASTRA-nominated indie series "The Coroner's Assistant," for which he was nominated for Best Leading Actor - Comedy and the 2024 Indie Series Awards. Award-nominated stage roles include Robert F. Kennedy (Kennedy: Bobby's Last Crusade), the Beast (Beauty and the Beast), Pippin (Pippin), and Link Larkin (Hairspray). In 2024, he appeared in the play "Butterflies Are Free" alongside Morgan Fairchild. Cedric also runs a YouTube channel where he analyzes music videos and live performances to educate thousands of viewers on storytelling, cinematography, editing, acting, production design, and vocal technique. In summer 2023, Cedric moved to the metro New York City area with his wife. He continues to travel the country working on indie films and in various stage roles.

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.
