Michael McGarry is a British actor who trained in Theatre Arts at Drama St. Mary's. Since graduating, he has appeared in many films such as Sleepless in Santa Monica (official Austin Film Festival selection), Reggie Yates' debut film Pirates and the soon-to-be-released award winning film, Only Love Matters (Best Film, Andromeda Film Festival, New York Movie Awards, Berlin Indie Film Festival). Among his projects this year, he is involved in The Midnight Circles production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Polly Holidays, Tragedy exhibited at the Tate, and the upcoming release of the short film Grand Total, scheduled for late this year. Outside of acting, Michael spends his time working for a non-profit organisation, The Zen Project, which brings wellbeing to those without access.’
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.
