Biography from TheMovieDB

Sunny Daydream Chen is a Canadian performer and artist. Born in Nanjing, raised in Langley on Coast Salish lands, the young artist toured Western Canada & America with their school choirs and concert band. At 17, Sunny moved to Vancouver and earned their BA in Psychology and English literature at UBC. From modeling for local designers, experiencing first love with a venue owner's son, and covering live shows for blogs, Sunny became an "it girl" in the local scene before turning 20.  Sunny voiced Jiao in sci-fi adventure game 1000xResist (2024) and won the supporting lead in Karin Lee's period drama Ts'ekoo Cha Ke: The Girl with Big Feet as Ho Shee, a Chinese merchant's wife in 1800s Barkerville. For this complex role, Sunny prepared her dialogue in Toisan and Chinook. The actor is known for Cheer Squad Secrets (2020), A Million Little Things (2018), and Sunflower Girl (2023).  Sunny Daydream writes songs in English and Mandarin, available on Spotify and Apple Music. In 2023, Women in Music Canada awarded Sunny a national Honour as a rising star. The artist enjoys singing to wildlife (especially on hikes), soups of all kinds, and making playlists.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
