A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Swansea, Wales, UK
Andy Evason was born in Swansea Wales Uk. His parents are both from Wales (Swansea). His father was a vicar and his mother a school teacher. From a young age it was clear Evason was going to follow his dream and become an actor. He would have frequent visits to Swansea Grand Theatre and had training with the director John Chilvers MBE. A regular in local theatre plays and musicals, Evason was now hooked on acting. He was due to go to drama school in London in the 1980s but his father became ill so did not go. More recently he has returned to acting and after some intense training he is now fulfilling his dream. A short film 'Shoeless' that Evason played the lead in won the Royal Television Society (RTS) Midlands branch Uk Award for best fiction film (2013) He has recently completed filming Doorways an exciting project due to be released in 2013, The Amityville Asylum a horror film, due for release in 2013 and Valley Of The Witch to be released in 2015.
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.
