A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
PHILIP HAMILTON Ocean Conservation Filmmaker, Photographer, Author Following a successful 25 year career in international finance, Philip decided to dedicate his time to the world of marine conservation, producing impactful and inspiring documentaries. His award-winning debut documentary, Ocean Souls, united over 100 filmmakers, many scientists, and experts. In just two years, the team produced an emotive cetaceans documentary which has received a number of awards as well as being listed as a 2021 finalist in several prestigious film festivals around the world.

Philip's latest production, The Blue Forest, is the first comprehensive film focusing on the important topics of kelp and seaweed around the world and explores how we can preserve one of the world’s most productive habitats.

He continues to work on new productions, including feature film ‘RED’ which will focus on the IUCN red list as well as a documentary about whale collisions and what can be done to prevent the tragic fatalities caused by increased shipping traffic. His conservation work has one goal – to empower and inspire people to make a difference where it matters. Philip is sponsored by Canon Europe, Cressi, and GoPro amongst others. www.philiphamilton.com www.oceansoulsfilms.com

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.
