In 2017, Benson and Moorhead, alongside their producing partner David Lawson Jr., founded the film production company Rustic Films.  Their first film, the 2012 horror film Resolution, was screened at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. They described their partnership as purely collaborative and cast the lead actors after working with them on previous commercials they had worked on. Their follow-up, the 2014 romantic body horror film Spring, premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was publicly praised by both Richard Linklater and Guillermo del Toro. The pair's work can also be found in the horror anthology film V/H/S: Viral, in the segment entitled"Bonestorm."  Their film, The Endless, premiered in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017 and was theatrically released in 2018 by Well Go USA Entertainment. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the duo created and starred in Something in the Dirt, which was shot in Benson's apartment due to restrictions on the film industry at the time.  In television, Benson and Moorhead have contributed to multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe television series. After directing two episodes of Moon Knight, the duo were recruited as lead directors of the second season of Loki. After a significant creative reshuffle on Daredevil: Born Again, the two were hired to direct most of the episodes.  Description above from the Wikipedia article Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
