Jack McDonald is a 22-year-old writer/director who's most known for his debut short film Call of the Void. This film was created as his senior thesis film and is currently making a festival run in 2023. Born in Boston, Massachusettes, and raised in Dallas, Texas he discovered his love for filmmaking and began directing projects at the age of 16. He went on to win many youth filmmaking awards in high school and continued his education at the University of Oklahoma where he worked for Oklahoma Head Coach Lincoln Riley as a content creator. While in university he worked with brands such as Instagram, the NFL, and directed music videos for artists featured in VEVO, MTV, Live Nation's Ones to Watch, and TIDAL.

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.
