William Gauthier is a French-Canadian film director, writer and producer based in Toronto, Canada. Working in film for the better part of a decade, he got his start as an assistant director on several Montreal-based productions, including Quebec's #1 television series, District 31. His directorial debut, Each Other, won the Best Short Drama Award at the 2023 Inside Film Festival. That same year, he was named the Best First Time Filmmaker by the Swedish International Film Festival, as well as earning Best Director nominations from both the Toronto Indie Shorts and the Snow Leopard Film Festival. While his films are mostly rooted in the drama genre, he enjoys dabbling in many aspects of cinema to tell stories that explore the emotional core of complex characters and impact the audience with themes relating to family, resilience and the different faces of grief. He is the President of Studio Vallion.

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.
