A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Jordan K. Paul is a West Indian Writer/Director from the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. With no on-island film programs, Jordan taught himself the fundamentals of filmmaking. He traveled to the mainland US and received his BA in TV/Film production from DeSales University. Immediately after graduating, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his directing career. Over the 9 years of living in LA Jordan has made it his journey to work in every department of the film industry to develop his technical and artistic skills. Jordan has produced online content featured in Entertainment Weekly and a cover feature in LA Dancer Magazine. In 2023 Jordan made his directorial debut with his semi-biographical short film ANIMALS. Jordan's love of films helped him think beyond the coasts of his home island and he hopes to inspire more Caribbean filmmakers to do the same.
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.
