Birthplace:
Phillipines
Born:
July 29, 1984
rea came from a family of singers and learned the art of performance through song. After growing up singing on stage, she was introduced to acting through high school musical theater. She fell in love instantly and caught the "acting bug." She began formal acting training at Ramapo College of NJ and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater. She most recently portrayed a Suicide Bomber in the 2012 film "Act of Valor." Some of her projects include working on films such as "I Think I Love My Wife" (opposite Chris Rock) and "Baby Mama" (opposite Sigourney Weaver and Tina Fey). Her directing debut with the film "The Unknown" starring John Fiore ("The Sopranos") won the Soul Special Recognition Award at the Boston International Film Festival. She is currently directing the feature film documentary, "Baldy for the Blind."
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.
