Richard T. Fields

Biography from TheMovieDB

Born and raised in Prince George's County, MD, Richard T. Fields discovered his passion for storytelling at an early age. After earning his B.S. in Public Health from the University of Maryland, College Park, he decided to pursue his creative interests through American University's MFA in Film & Electronic Media program where he would be selected as commencement speaker for his graduating class.  Shortly after his graduation, Richard would go on to win the American Black Film Festival’s first ever “McDonald’s Lovin Video Competition,” for which his short film “Puppy Love,” would be featured online as a McDonald’s national ad campaign. Since then, his work has been featured both domestically and internationally. His lifestyle film, "Because, Love" was selected for Season 6 of Aspire TV's ABFF Independent Series alongside his timelapse film, "Prague: A Motion Timelapse", which was also featured throughout several European ad and tourism campaigns and has received over 40K views online. Richard continues to use his rare blend of creative and analytical thinking to develop projects with his team from the ground up. He currently freelance directs commercials and music videos while he continues development on his first feature film.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
