A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
A director of photography on "The Day the World Series Stopped", Loren A. Roberts wears many hats for the movies he works on, including producer, camera, editor, sound recordist and editor, composer, and post-production supervisor. Associate Producer for the feature film "Not That Funny" (with Tony Hale and Bridgid Brannagh), Roberts' decade-long collaboration with director Lauralee Farrer included the award-winning documentaries "The Fair Trade" (2008) and "Laundry and Tosca" (2005). His documentary filmmaking has taken him throughout the world - to locations such as Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan. Roberts has mixed live music for countless bands, recorded and produced indie artists, and helped market emerging artists through multi-channel marketing. Recently he was brought in to fix the multi-track recording from a live "worship experience" at Saddleback Church in Southern California for a concert DVD, mixing and mastering a song a day for a behind-schedule release. He was a founding member of Southern California's premier Doobie Brothers tribute band -- Dangerous. A film producer/guru and creative/branding/marketing genius, Roberts' continued collaboration with clients worldwide has birthed a multi-disciplinary creative firm -- Hearken Creative Services. Since 1993, he has served such diverse clients as Caltech, Bill Nye the Science Guy, World Vision, and museums in the greater Los Angeles area, bringing a strong aesthetic to print, web, e-mail, film and multimedia advertising campaigns. Roberts graduated from Occidental College with a degree in Religious Studies.

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.
