Juss Thrasher is a dynamic multi-hyphenate creator whose innovative vision spans across film, television, podcasting, and multimedia production. His storytelling prowess first garnered widespread recognition with "Greyscale," an award-winning indie feature film that captured the Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the 2020 Chelsea Film Festival. Building on this success, Thrasher collaborated with Emmy-nominated director Yaniel Paulino on their compelling feature film "Something of Value," which made its debut at the prestigious 2023 New York Latino Film Festival, screening at New York City's REGAL theaters. As the founder of PENJOT MEDIA GROUP, Thrasher has established a creative powerhouse that serves as the epicenter for his diverse portfolio of projects. His recent accomplishments include producing the television pilot "I (Un)Do," which earned "Best Ensemble" at NYC Web Fest 2024, and developing the LGBTQ+ drama series "Unrequited," slated for release in 2025. Beyond his work in film and television, Thrasher's creative reach extends into audio entertainment, where he hosted "The Unsubtle-Tea Podcast" and is preparing to launch his newest venture, "Sit-Down Unplug with Juss Thrasher" in Spring 2025. His artistic versatility is further demonstrated through his work as a photographer, with publications in notable outlets including VoyageLA Magazine, Rock The Pigeon, Shoutout LA, and Revry TV.
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.
