A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
J. is currently living and proudly transitioning in Brooklyn, New York. They grew up in NJ and went off to Nashville, to study at Vanderbilt University. After a couple of years they decided to focus on their health and well-being and returned to New York City to settle into the beginnings of transitioning and living as their true unapologetic self. J. is interested in the arts and fostering tolerance for those who choose to follow a different path with respect to personal gender identities. They are patriotic and loves our country but thinks we all have a lot more work to do to ensure our freedom and respect for one another. J. hopes this film helps develop a better understanding for people now, young and old, and for future generations. Going forward, J. will be looking to continue to advocate for the transgender community.
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.
