Born on September 28th, 1993 in the small New Mexican town of Portales, Kendall Christianson aspired to be in the film industry from a young age. His love for movies eventually evolved into his love for film making when he produced and directed his first feature film, "Brother." The film received positive recognition as it was screened to a large audience but failed to make it to the film festivals. Christianson's second feature, "Silencer" fared much better. Silencer was submitted to the Nevada Film Festival where it came close to an official selection but received the Festival's silver award from the Judges. Christianson has made several short films including "Neighbor of the Beast," a short horror film that was accepted into the Nevada Film Festival, as well as "Whence Cometh Evil?," a political short that won 8th place at the Arizona Short Film Festival and won a spot at the Shortz Festival in California. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
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.
