Chinese Filipino, Spanish, New Zealand actor Charisse Uy started her acting journey working on many New Zealand made, US productions since 2017 including the Shannara Chronicles for MTV, The Legend of Monkey & Cowboy Bebop for Netflix and The Wilds for Amazon Studios. Most recently she has been playing the role of Lovely Rivera on New Zealand’s longest running TV series Shortland Street where she made many fans with her portrayal of the man-stealing, party girl who turns everything upside down, so upside down that she has been asked to return to the show for an extended period. Other New Zealand screen highlights include the comedy drama series Raised by Refugees for Prime TV, TVNZ Beyond The Veil - Albularyo & Kāinga for NZIFF.
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.
