A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Hiroshi 'Rosh' Mori
Hiroshi Mori moved around from location to location as a child, living in Denver, Saskatoon, Tokyo, Shreveport and landed in Honolulu for middle school. At the University of Hawaii Manoa, he developed a life long love for photography and was introduced to creating animation in Robert Rodeck’s Images In Motion Class. This eventually led years later to study under the tutelage of Jules Engel at CalArts in the Experimental Animation program. His hand drawn animated short film Chair was shown at many film festivals including SXSW. He is one of the founders of The Third Floor previsualization studio and has been a previs/postvis and layout artist on Mad Max: Fury Road, Men in Black 3, The Avengers, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Surf’s Up and many other feature films.

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.
