Biography from TheMovieDB

I graduated with a BA Acting degree from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2008. I worked as an actor with the Dundee Rep Theatre and the National Theatre of Scotland, before moving to Vienna, Austria in 2010. I co-founded Vienna’s Open House Theatre, where I held the positions of Artistic Director and Creative Director, before moving on from the company in 2019 to focus more on my increasing freelance work. Acting is my main profession, and I work mainly on independent film projects and fiction podcasts. In both of these areas I also work as a writer, and sometimes director. I have also appeared in some bigger government and studio funded film projects, as well as a bit of German television. I do quite a bit of voiceover work too, and own a good voice recording set-up.  I work with lots of various groups and companies, who also quite frequently invite me back to work with them on new projects.  Acting is my main focus, however I am also asked to collaborate on quite a number of screenplays. Usually this begins with a simple request to check the English, but more often than not, I am asked to collaborate more in-depth.  I really love working in a group, with new people, and on new and exciting projects and stories.

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.

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.
