A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Nico Sanft is a self-taught director based in Hamburg, Germany. His journey as a filmmaker began in 2007, when he was finally able to afford his first camera at the age of 14. Now, 15 years later, he quite literally has been making films for more than half of his life. Following his passion seems to be what he's been doing for as long as he can thinkāat least that's what it feels like to him anyway. So far, Nico has directed numerous award-winning short films, music videos and spec commercials, and his projects have been screened at both national and international festivals. In addition to his work as a director, he has a highly qualified technical background, having worked extensively in production as well as post-production capacities. With more than 10 years of professional experience in the commercial film industry, he knows how to deliver his projects with the highest quality while working under the strictest time and budget constraints. Nico's long-term goal is clear: to establish himself as a director in the German film scene. Not one to wait around for permission, he is actively developing narrative film projects of various lengths as well as spec commercials and music videos.

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.
