A woman makes a decision to rid herself of her shadow. She needs a ritual, a rite that will open up the brief window between life and death. She can speak into it and have her wish granted. Her shadow departs and she undergoes a transformation. At first it is unclear what she has become as without her shadow she believes she is free.

'Nothing' is the embodiment of this void and it acts with no motives, no direction, just continuous presence that she cannot escape from...
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:

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.
