Sayako was abused by her mother as a young child. She eventually moved into a foster care facility because of the abuse and has lived there ever since. She's now a senior in high school. After Sayako graduates from high school she hopes to attend a ballet school, but Sayako can't count on her parents for tuition fees. One day, Sayako turns to her father for help. However, her father betrays her trust again and this pushes Sayako over the edge. She escapes from the foster care facility and seeks out her mother and older sister. Eventually, Sayako meets an equally lost soul named Kenta. Kenta wanders through the neighborhood on a bicycle asking random people if they know him.
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.
