A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Rob Harrow was born and raised in Suffern, New York. At the age of 5 he began making films on his fathers video camera. It was then that he knew he wanted to act and direct and be a part of entertainment in any capacity. As he saw more and more films, his love and passion for film and acting developed into something larger than words. In High School he helped expand the film program while studying at the Helen Hayes Theatre. He studied film, screenwriting and acting at Hofstra University and graduated with a Bachelors in Film Production. Since moving to Los Angeles, he has continued to write, produce, direct and act in short films with his brother, Bryce. Their latest short film venture, El Banditos, which they co-wrote, co-directed and acted in has gone on to screen at a number of prominent film festivals and it has received numerous awards including Exceptional Emerging Artist at the Hollywood Film Festival, The Audience Choice Award at Hollyshorts Monthly Screenings and to top it off, their film screened at the Prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
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.
