Beckett Hobbs is a Jewish Writer-Director from all over. Born in a small suburb in Illinois, adventured through the sensuous city of London, and rested in the majestic mountains of Washington, he now studies film at Emerson College in Boston. Beckett seeks out new perspectives to contribute and push his own. He is a filmmaking Swiss army knife, having worked as a Director (x2), Writer (x3), Producer (x4), Assistant Director (x2), Cinematographer (x2), Editor (x2), Production Assistant, and Executive Producer (x3), contributing to 8 completed productions, with 7 currently in development. Beckett's goal is to create art that promotes deep reflection upon ourselves and our communities. He values collaborators who embrace diverse perspectives and aims to make films that encourage artistic contributions from all production members.

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.
