A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Alberta, Canada
Jewelle was born in Alberta and raised in W. Germany. Upon her return to Canada, Jewelle auditioned for a minor role in a school play (Anne of Green Gables) and was offered the lead role instead. Jewelle took some film acting classes in her teens and worked with a few vibrant groups with rave response to her work. As a lover of story and in her constant effort to make the world a better place, Jewelle recorded a CD titled 'Hidden Utopia', with 7 self written and produced songs. Jewelle decided, in 2010, to continue her journey with a one on one film making apprenticeship, which ultimately helped birth the new series, Poker Girls, which was nominated for best TV Pilot at the Banff World Media Festival 2011. The series is now called "Bluff" after being redeveloped and recast. Jewelle has created UnCaged - a lifestyle series for outdoor motorbike adventure seekers - starring her husband, Rob Colwell, as host. Jewelle's favorite role in this industry continues to be as actress, during which times she truly comes alive as she freely explores her various characters.
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.
