A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Konstantina Mantelos is a Greek-Canadian actress, and filmmaker, passionate about mining the dark corners and emotional depths of women on-screen. She broke onto the indie horror scene as final girl Shannon Becker in Shudder's Anything for Jackson, and stars in the debut feature from horror director Joanna Tsanis, The Killgrin. Konstantina trained in New York City at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and the Toronto Metropolitan University School of Performance. Shortly after beginning her career as an actor she ventured into filmmaking. Through her films she passionately explores the female psyche, and brings her own characters to life onscreen. Her debut film, Lakesong, premiered at the 2017 LA Film Festival.
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.
