A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Max James Palmer was born in Baltimore, Maryland and is of English, Irish, and Italian ancestry. He grew up in the city of Annapolis, spending his early years entertaining family and friends. After college, Max worked in construction, building residential homes and eventually selling construction services full time. In addition to his construction work, he was also involved in real estate. In his free time, Max played in local bands, writing and creating music. He is a versatile musician and enjoys all types of music. Max's career took a pause due to the pandemic, and he decided to pursue acting. He has since worked with top production companies and professionals in the entertainment industry, including HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Apple TV, A&E, Netflix, ID Channel, History Channel, Disney and local and national commercials. Max continues to act and has had success in the industry.
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.
