A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Since childhood, Francis has always expressed his interest and passion for cinema through writing and drawing. Very early on, he developed the skills to make films with friends in his spare time. Directed towards the cinema profile in his graduate studies, he followed the academic path that led him to Montréal, continuing his training at the University of Montreal in the Film Studies program. It specializes in scriptwriting, with a choice of courses specific to this discipline. In recent years, he has been moving forward with more conviction in the field, working on various projects with a long list of differing roles on set. From training, to workshops to contracts, he expands his creative universe by bringing together several disciplines. He is a professional model and actor, areas that he puts forward and develops with determination.

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.
