A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Katie Rotolo hails from sunny south Florida, where she began performing at the age of 3. At 18, she started her professional career acting in short films and commercials in Miami. Working as a stand-in on Burn Notice led to PA-ing, and later to working as a Producer and Assistant Director. She relocated to Los Angeles in late 2009 and later returned to Miami to produce her first feature film in 2012. Now with over 14 years of experience working in the entertainment industry, she has produced and acted for new media, commercials, music videos, shorts and feature films. She has worked with companies such as Disney, 20th Century Fox, Maker Studios, Refinery29 and Fullscreen, and runs her own boutique production company, Paper Ball Pictures. She currently resides in Los Angeles, and is available for travel. On set and for camera, she loves to make people laugh. Growing up, Robin Williams was a frequent guest in her house; in her adult life, she's found friends in Pete Holmes and Maria Bamford (the latter she has had the pleasure of working with behind-the-scenes on Lady Dynamite). She is also very focused on providing a voice to under-represented topics and starting conversations to make social and ethical changes in everyday life. Holistic values, an eco-friendly state of mind, and tacos are just a few of the things Katie likes to bring to set.

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.
