Jay Shurey is an acclaimed film producer, screenwriter and the founding director of JQS Films. After many years being part of the arts charity Company Paradiso producing radio drama for the BBC, Jay transitioned toward film producing, debuting with the action-adventure feature Young Hunters: The Beast of Bevendean (2013). Following a handful of short film productions including the multi-award winning psychological thriller Betrayed (2022), Jay returned to long-form filmmaking with feature-length thrillers The Caller (2023), High Water (2023), Good Neighbours (2024) and The Cellar (2024). In addition to pursuing his productions, Jay's passionate advocacy for education led him to establish JQS Learning and JQS Rocks in 2019 and 2024 respectively to foster and celebrate the next generation of young filmmakers through online mentorship and training. Jay can regularly been heard across many audio dramas too, primarily as the voice of Emmil Scott in the D&D podcast series The Lucky Die.

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.
