A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
David Allen Case
Jax Spenser
David is married to diva, Michelle Visage, trained at Juilliard, won awards and a fellowship for his writing under the alias Jax Spenser. After years of training and working in NYC as an actor, David now resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two girls. He took 15 years off of acting to raise his kids but is soon returning to acting and continues to write material dear to his heart. His latest manuscript is inspired by a personal story of his own daughter's depression and her wading through the world of elite athletics in high school. David hopes to spread a message of acceptance for all who are effected by depression.
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.
