Biography from TheMovieDB

Dylan Lighthall was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina by Dennis and Martha Lighthall. From a young age, he found a strong interest in sports- but more importantly, sports reporting. He's always had a dream of being on television for ESPN or another network, and until he got to college, that was the goal. During his freshman year at Appalachian State University he discovered the Theatre. It was here he fell in love with the performing arts and all that come with it. He finished his degree at UNC-Charlotte and quickly found representation. In 2018, he transitioned to film and began studying at "The Actor's Lab" in Charlotte, North Carolina (there are 4 locations total: LA, Santa Barbara, Charlotte and Portland) founded by J.D. Lewis. He has studied under Pat Dortch and Bryan Pierce ever since. His first lead role was in "Finding It" by Grant Weaver, and he quickly followed that up with the lead role in "Its Night" in early 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he continued to work on his craft at The Actor's lab via Zoom, and in 2020, secured a strong supporting role in the feature "Water for the Root" as "Mikey". He also wrote, directed, edited and starred in his first film "Mutual" which was a finalist for "LabFest 2021". In 2021, Dylan wrote, directed and starred in two more films: "Invisible" and "What Lies Between". He continues to impress and grow in this industry, with so much more to come!

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
