A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

An award winning screenwriter, actress and filmmaker, Alicia champions female storytelling and diversity in film and television. Her brand is strong, yet flawed women, and she promotes black leading female characters who experience trauma, loss, and persevere. Representation matters. Hailing from Indiana, some of her stories take place in Indianapolis to bring filmmaking there. Her love of writing came from her 2nd grade teacher assigning the class to writing a short story for homework, and because of her trauma, she used writing to heal and fell in love with it. It was Rodriguez’s and Tarantino’s From Dusk Till Dawn that got her into writing screenplays as a child, and she hasn’t stopped since. Alicia is a green sash in Wing Chun and a yellow belt in Kenpo. She also studies Kali and fight choreography and takes an on camera scene study acting class with Jim Dougherty. Lastly, she has written, produced, and starred in several short films, including Vindicate and Killings of the Land.

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.
