A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born:
August 3, 1969
Born and raised in a small Iowa town, Emily started modeling with Elite and moved from Chicago to Milan, Paris, and finally London. She then based her modeling career out of New York for 10 years while she studied acting with Bill Esper and Wynn Handman. There she also worked acting and producing Off-Off Broadway theatre. Shortly after 9/11, she moved with F. Scott Shea, whom she married the next year, to Los Angeles allowing her to work more in entertainment and less in fashion. Emily has done some television and theatre, though she prefers to focus mainly on independent films. Once she quit modeling, Emily and Scott had a son, Hatcher, in June of 2006 and their next child is in the works: a independent film based on "The Buffalo Soldier", a national best-seller, written by novelist Chris Bohjalian. The book is being adapted by "Tennessee" screenwriter Russell Schaumburg; the film is being produced by Stu Pollard of Pollard Films. She is currently studying collage/montage art at Art Center for Design. Emily and her family make their home in the Hollywood Hills, with their kat Prince William and genetically challenged dog, Stella Blue.
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.
