A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
John Field Brown is a 20-year-old filmmaker and videographer from Austin, TX currently pursuing a BFA in Film Production at Texas State University. For the past three years, he has built an extensive resume, working on over 40 sets as a Production Assistant, Grip, or Gaffer on narrative, commercial, corporate, and live event projects for notable companies such as FOX Sports, WarnerMedia, and UPROXX. He has also worked on set under credible filmmakers such as Bryan Poyser, Johnny McAllister, and Chris Beier. Alongside his role as a Production and Development Intern at 51st & Eighth, John currently works as the Videographer and Editor for KW Cares. Since 2021, John has written, directed, produced, and edited five of his own short films, "Sunny Afternoon" being his latest. His short films have gone on to screen at reputable film festivals such as the Waco Independent Film Festival, El Paso Film Festival, and Austin Under the Stars, as well as winning "Best Student Film" at the 2022 Austin Spotlight Film Festival. John's achievements also include multiple wins for Best Writing, Best Cinematography, Best Editor, and Best Young Filmmaker. As John continues to pursue a career in film producing, he established his own production company, FieldFilms, in early 2023 to provide a dedicated platform for showcasing his current and future portfolio of narrative, commercial, and corporate work.

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.
