If you’ve got little ones you’ll probably recognise Karim Zeroual from CBBC HQ, where he’s a familiar face known for presenting BBC Young Dancer and Wimbledon LIVE. He’s also fronted Ten Pieces Party Live Lesson events with the BBC National Orchestra and hosted interviews at CBBC Summer Social events with a range of amazing children’s authors. But before he was making waves in presenting, Karim went to theatre school in London, building up a passion for acting and performing from a young age. He’s since starred in EastEnders, Da Vinci’s Demons and The Sparticle Mystery, as well as on stage in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Lion King. He’s also appeared on Blue Peter, Top Class and Saturday Mash-Up, and is currently working on a travel and sport documentary for CBBC called A Week to Beat the World.
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.
