A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Tyler Coon is a filmmaker currently completing his MFA in Film Production at the University of Southern California. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a BA in Communications in 2020. Tyler comes from the great state of Massachusetts and loves sports, cooking, and home-improvement projects. With over seven years of experience in narrative writing, producing, directing, editing, and acting, he specializes in energetic stories told with stylistic and visual flair. Whether it's for zero-budget passion projects or highly supervised corporate video, Tyler has worked efficiently and creatively to tell all types of stories in a timely and professional manner. Prior to and during his studies in USC's Film Production program, Tyler has written, directed, edited, acted in, and produced over 15 independent short films in various above- and below-the-line roles.
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.
