Daniel Alvarado Kawahigashi, whose last name means 'Eastern River' in Japanese, was born in Westminster, London on 30th June 1990. Son of Neale Darwin (musician) of English, Norwegian & French descent and Yela Kawahigashi (Peruvian Charity Founder) of Peruvian & Japanese descent. From a young age he was influenced by the works of Asian Cinema, particularly anything starring Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan; from these influences, grew his love for Martial Arts & Film. From age ten, he trained in several Martial Arts, specifically Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai & Wing Chun as well as weapons training, Parkour and Gymnastics. After competitive fighting, Daniel moved onto performing on stage for his Tae Kwon Do demonstration team which grew to performing as a stunt performer for Independent films such as Valladesam (2016), The Division (2017) and Nightshooters (2018).
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.
