Kam is 11 years old. She lives along the river in the slums of Klong Toey with her father, mother, and big brother. Her mother is a local hairdresser and her father works for the local municipality when he can. Kam’s house has always been filled with music. Her father often plays the guitar, and Kam loves to sing along. Her dream is to become a famous pop singer and perform in front of a big audience. Kam’s talent and love of singing is noticed by the local music school. Kam is a bit shy and she is nervous about singing at a local concert. To give Kam courage, her schoolteacher gives her tickets to a concert with her favorite pop star. And she even gets to meet her backstage. With advice from the famous pop singer and with support from her best friend next door, she finds the courage to sing at the local concert.

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.
