Darin F. Earl II is a first-generation Jamaican-American artist from America. Humble beginnings started us out as a writer and singer, receiving a BA in Theatre & Journalism at Rider University in 2016. He studied physical theatre, commedia del arte, and devised theatre at St. Mary's University of Twickenham in England. Additionally, he explored Bio-mechanical & Carpet Theatre at the International Student Theatre Festival in Dakovo, Croatia. In addition to those, previous explorations include clowning, stage combat (unarmed, staff, kali), basic gymnastics, and other avenues of stage performance. He is exploring voice-over work, acting for the screen, writing for the screen, as well as producing for both (stage/screen). His first short with Reinhard, The Dennis Boys (2022) was selected as part of the NY Shorts International Film Festival & is a recipient of the Oscar Micheaux Award (2017) for excellence in screenwriting (Greater Philadelphia Film Office). The Devil's Playground (2022) has been selected for the Block Island and Jersey Shore Horror Film Festivals. It won Best Short Thriller at Block Island, and the Best Short Jersey Horror Film award. He moonlights as the Director of Programming for a queer service organisation, Beta Gamma Chi Fraternity, Inc.
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.
