A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Brisbane-born actor Oliver Cameron began his career on the stage, appearing in close to 20 theatre productions before branching out to film. Since then, he has starred in countless short and feature-length films, leaning towards unique characters and memorable projects. Recently, Cameron played the lead role of troubled teen Kesson in the upcoming drama feature Hood Safari which was shot entirely on Hi-8 and Mini DV tape. He has trained with Queensland Theatre and various esteemed acting coaches including Miranda Harcourt and Christopher Sommers, the latter of whom he acted alongside in the award-winning short film The Trip. A filmmaker himself, Cameron has written and directed several short films of his own and supplements his filmmaking with writing, having released a selection of short-stories. Cameron is the founding member of indie rock band Sacred Groves whose debut album, which he wrote entirely and produced, has reached thousands of listeners on Spotify. Classically trained in voice and piano, Cameron has also composed a number of orchestral and soundtrack pieces, many of which he incorporates into his films.
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.
