Emma Booth (born c. 1981) is an Australian model-turned-actress. Coming from Perth in Western Australia, the former teen model and TV star has recently achieved international stardom with a main role in the film Introducing the Dwights opposite Brenda Blethyn. Frequently referred to as the "next big thing" from Australia after Clubland (North American title of Introducing the Dwights) was screened at the Sundance Film Festival, many talent agencies solicited her for roles in upcoming films. As a result, in 2008 she appeared in the horror film Blood Creek to be directed by Joel Schumacher. She will also be appearing in Hippie Hippie Shake with Cillian Murphy and Sienna Miller, an account of the Schoolkids OZ obscenity trials in Great Britain. Currently, she is working on the film The Wrong Girl, an Australian true-life drama about a teen who had been raped by a notorious Sydney gang and her four-year struggle for justice, written by award-winning screenwriter Nicholas Hammond and directed by Michael Jenkins.
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.
