After graduation from high school, David Maysick would join the United States Navy and serve for four years. Upon his return from the sea, he enrolled in the Illinois Institute of Technology where he graduated. David would pastor a church for several years in Holland, Michigan until he returned to school at Andrews University for a Master’s and PHD in Education. This led to his involvement with Lake Michigan College where David was first a professor and later worked there as Dean of Students. David would return to teaching after retirement as an adjunct professor at many area schools well into his seventies. David also continued to serve LMC as a member of the Board of Trustees and for a time served as the elected president. In 2013, David starred in the film The Wednesday Morning Breakfast Club.
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.
