A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Jeffrey Dale Johnson
As a director and cinematographer, Jeff Johnson has over 12 years of experience in the industry working on a range of projects that include documentaries, commercials, branded content, and scripted film. He co-founded The Cutting Board in 2009 with a focus on creating a strong network of like-minded creatives who could work together to make thoughtful, engaging stories. His work as a cinematographer has taken him around the world to follow a wide gamut of issues, but recently he has chosen to cover human rights stories closer to home. From 2014 to 2017, Jeff was the Director of Photography for two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy on her feature documentary following the stories of amateur athletes in the United States (in post). Jeff's work also includes lensing 2nd Unit cinematography for "An Act of Worship", directed by Nausheen Dadabhoy.

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.
