Jason R.A. Foster is an award-winning filmmaker, originally from Kingston, Jamaica, who now resides in New Jersey but has spent most of his life in the American South.

In the spring of 2020, Jason released his first feature documentary, the award-winning Many Fires This Time: We the 100 Million (Best Cinematography for a Louisiana Feature and Special Jury Recognition for a Louisiana Feature), and during the same year, was a fellow in the UnionDocs Research and Development Summer Lab for his personal documentary feature, In Search Of...

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.)

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

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.
