A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Tara-Nicole is an American actress who graduated high school with honors at the age of 14. At 15, she had already won 5 Telly Awards for her writing and directing. At 16 she had written and directed 6 short films, 2 web shows and her work had shown at over 140 film festivals both Nationally and Internationally. Tara's films have shown at the iconic Egyptian Theater and the TCL Chinese Theater, in Hollywood, on cable television, in schools and in several different countries. You may know Tara as "Tara Cosplay," the quirky co-host of the show #Nerdtabulous, but Tara-Nicole began acting when she was just a little girl, at the age of 4, with a small part in a feature film. She took a brief hiatus to pursue gymnastics and then jumped back into acting again at age 8. She has appeared in films, commercials, videos and TV projects. As a member of a writing family, Tara-Nicole began writing children's books at a young age. She has 3 times won the prestigious Young Author's contest. When just 11 years old, she branched out & wrote a screenplay entitled, "My Name Is...Anna", which is the film that started her career as an independent filmmaker and it has also been used by eating disorder treatment centers, which was Tara's goal when making the film. At the age of 14, she signed her first distribution deal for one of her films, "Sybling Rivalry" which is a dark, horror comedy.
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.
