A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Todd was born and raised near Louisville, Kentucky. Ever since he was a child, he wanted to be an entertainer. As an adult, he thrived as a content creator and live streamer. In those pursuits, he gained knowledge of in-home production, including techniques with audio, lighting, and cameras. He then enrolled in acting courses and started to seek opportunities in theater and film. His first film involvement was as an extra in the movie "I Can." His desire to be a part of films grew from there. After having the opportunity to talk to some of the actors, he was inspired to improve his skills and try theater. He earned his first acting gig in a local area dinner theater called WhoDunnit, with a flexible stage. His first traditional stage involvement was in a production of four David Ives shorts as Milton in "Words, Words, Words," at Bunbury Theatre in Louisville. Todd is devoted to entertainment and is always learning from experience to ensure future success. He is looking forward to later projects. In his spare time, when he is not diving into his various creative passions, Todd enjoys all things pop culture and video games. When it's time to unplug, he enjoys long walks at the park, hiking, and spending time with his family.
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.
