Growing up gay in rural Louisiana, Monty Wolfe battled his loneliness by immersing himself in cinema. He found kinship and inspiration in the misfits and marginalized underdogs in movies. His love of movies eventually matured into a love of filmmaking, and he made his first films using a second-hand 8mm film camera. After a decade in television news, Monty moved to Portland, Oregon where he attended Portland State University School of Film and received a BA in film. As part of his studies, he put together his first award-winning gay short, In Pieces. Encouraged by that success, Monty would go on to write, produce, direct, and edit more award-winning LGBTQ-themed films. His films teeter between earnest and ironic, wholesome and decadent, grounded and surreal.

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.
