A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Gemma Salomon is the founder of Whisper Tree Productions – a femme-focussed genre film house based in South Australia. In 2023, she was the recipient of the Helpmann Academy Creative Innovator Program major prize of $20,000 seed funding. A South Australian Screen Award winner, she also co-directed the Ramsay Prize winning video performance work "Witness" by Adelaide based performance artist Ida Sophia. Gemma is a genre filmmaker whose work focuses on the monsters we create when we abandon ourselves and each other. Her horror short “The Eaters” will have its world premiere at SXSW Sydney in 2024.

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.
