A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
John Hardy is a producer. His collaboration with director Steven Soderbergh began in 1989 when he produced sex, lies, and videotape. The film went on to win the 1989 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The two subsequently teamed on nine additional films: Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Eleven, Erin Brockovich, The Limey, Out of Sight, Schizopolis, Gray's Anatomy, The Underneath, and King of the Hill. Hardy was raised in Honolulu, Washington, D.C. and London where he graduated from the Bushy Hall American School. He received a B.A. in history from Louisiana State University before entering the London Film School. His first producing credit was on The Wooden Gun, filmed in Israel in 1979. Written and directed by Ilan Moshenson, the film was shown at festivals in Berlin, Toronto, Locarno, and Cannes. In addition, Hardy produced two films with Morgan Mason: No Secrets and Twenty-One, which was presented at the 1991 Sundance Film Festival. Following Ocean's Eleven, Hardy served as executive producer on Martin Brest's Gigli, for Revolution Studios.

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.
