A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Denver, Colorado, USA
Ethan Frank is a pianist and composer in the Detroit and Denver metro areas. An alumnus of Denver School of the Arts and a current student at Michigan State University, Ethan is ready to do what he loves, which is telling stories through music. This passion has involved countless live performances at clubs and festivals including Red Rocks, Dazzle, and the main stage in Telluride, in addition to many recorded projects including his album Reanimation. However, composing film scores provides a unique lens through which Ethan is able to enhance visual and aural storytelling by adding sonic layers that were previously unimagined. The specific task of providing both subtle and powerful emotional cues through music is something that he specializes in and continues to hone as a creative skill.
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.
