A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Louise is a British host, broadcast journalist and voiceover artist. She works internationally on TV, online and at a variety of live events. Louise is currently based in Los Angeles, working with Universal, Cellar Media & SPAsigma on film, TV, online content and a brand new podcast. You can find her regularly hosting Euromaxx - DWTV's highest ranked magazine show broadcast around the world. Working here as a broadcast journalist, Louise loves the process of delving into current affairs and researching a topic fully before going live on air. The studios are in Berlin but the show is broadcast internationally. Having begun her career hosting the FIA European Drag Racing Championships for SkySports and the UK's Channel 5, Louise moved on to develop her passion for music. She has been invited to talk in panel discussions and interview a great number of musicians at music festivals. For 5 years she co-produced and co-hosted BALCONY TV in London - An Online concept that she also transferred into a TV format, broadcasting on LONDON LIVE in the UK. Louise is now hosting sessions with Balcony TV LA. It was with the company BIG EARTH that Louise gained her production experience, working on projects such as LONG WAY ROUND where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman rode round the world on their motorbikes. With the same company, Louise is developing a new show about being British and many of the episodes are available on YouTube. When it comes to print, Louise has contributed to both books in the series of "How to be a Presenter " written by Kathryn Wolfe. Louise has a background in acting, having appeared in BBC series like HOLBY CITY and HIGH HOPES. Her last lead role in a feature film sat at No 1 in the US Gay film charts for several months.
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.
