A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Cara Yeates is a Canadian filmmaker based in New York where runs the boutique production company Trigger Creative. Cara's short film "Gone Before Your Eyes" will screen on PBS in July. For this film, she won Best Director of a Narrative Short Film at the Queens World Film Festival in New York. "Gone" premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival last fall. It has been selected for eighteen film festivals, including the Mill Valley and Sedona Film Festivals; it also won Best Narrative Short (Buffalo International Film Festival) and the Audience Choice Award (Bowery Film Festival.) Her first short documentary, 'Taking New Steps,' was commissioned by the blockchain platform Breaker. Cara has directed video content with Alexander Wang, Karlie Kloss, Bloomingdales, Morgan Stanley and Gramatik. She started her career in the theater, creating and performing solo shows. She toured four of these one-woman shows across North America, receiving critical success and numerous awards. Her shows were called "blistering," "a tour-de-force," and "irresistible."
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.
