A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
Born:
August 10, 1987
Born and raised in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Boyland fell into acting very young through a school teacher who quickly recognized his potential. Touring with a group of students to perform gave way for Ari landing his first professional role at the age of 11 on the widely distributed children's show 'The Tribe'. Ari studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater in New York City in 2009 and has since worked on multiple international productions in both the United States and New Zealand.
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.
