A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born:
July 16, 1969
Simon Emmett is a photographer renowned for his celebrity portraits and beauty photography. Emmett’s work regularly appears across a broad spectrum of publications such as Beauty Papers, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Icon and numerous others. Constantly working between his personal, editorial and commercial projects, Emmett is also a dedicated filmmaker. His first feature documentary ‘Underhill’ about Barnet FC’s old home was met with critical acclaim and his second - a documentary on British rock band, The Darkness, has been released on a large theatrical scale after being picked up by Fulwell73 and is now available to download digitally. Emmett is the author of the first pictures of the Oasis band reunion after 15 years of their breakup.
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.
