Matthew Miller is the Senior Director of Technology & Business Development at Orlando Informer and has an incredible history as a theme park technologist and roller coaster designer. Matthew is a world-renowned theme park senior executive and innovation catalyst who has crafted extraordinary guest experiences millions of tourists enjoy annually. Matthew has helped create world-class attractions for both Disney Imagineering and Universal Creative.

While working around the globe, Matthew received numerous awards & accolades, even being granted a patent for his research and development of interactive wearable technologies (Patent: US20210383644A1). His work can be found in many theme parks today, as he helped deliver iconic attractions such as Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem 3D, Transformers: The Ride 3D, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Super Nintendo World. As a theme park technologist, he was instrumental in the production of several movies and TV series filmed on-location at the theme parks. Matthew is originally from Wewahitchka, FL. He credits most of his success to lessons learned and relationships built in his extraordinary hometown.
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.
