Victor Ireland was born on May 27, 1966 in Los Angeles County, California, USA as Victor E. Ireland. He is a writer and director, known for LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete (1999), Alundra (1997) and Summon Night 6: Lost Borders (2016). Former president of Working Designs for over 15 years, until it closed in 2005. His new company is GAIJINWORKS, which was established to carry on the work he began at Working Designs localizing Japanese games for English-speaking audiences. After attempting to bring Growlanser II, Growlanser III, and Goemon for the PlayStation 2 from Japan in the US, he and his company's efforts were unexpectedly rebuffed repeatedly by Sony Computer Entertainment America. The ongoing difficulties eventually led to the closure of Working Designs, and eventually, the birth of his new company, GAIJINWORKS.
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.
