A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Irma has produced MR LOVERMAN, the new Fable Pictures / BBC One series based on the novel by Bernardine Evaristo. Prior to this she was Series Producer on GRIME KIDS for Mammoth Screen/BBC3, she co-produced THEN YOU RUN for Kudos/Sky and produced series three of THE BAY for Tall Story Pictures/ITV. Irma worked as Development Producer for Ged Doherty and Colin Firth's company, Raindog Films and was Script Executive on TIN STAR for Kudos/Sky, prior to which she spent two years as Producer on HOLBY CITY, having been a script editor on both it and EASTENDERS. Irma has produced over 30 hours of television, including the critically–acclaimed “Man Down” episode of HOLBY CITY, which highlighted the plight of a much-loved regular character in denial about his chronic depression and in crisis. She was a dramaturg on INSIDE OUT a play, by Tanika Gupta, produced by Clean Break and for LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS by Benjamin Zephaniah, originally commissioned and transmitted on Radio 4. The play was reworked for a touring theatre production, before running at The Lyric, Hammersmith. As an actor, Irma has worked extensively, in theatre, television, radio and film; most often in new plays including WELCOME TO THEBES, written by Moira Buffini and directed by Richard Eyre, at the Olivier, for the National Theatre; DAUGHTERS at the Royal Court Theatre, directed by Ramin Gray; award-winning APACHE TEARS for Clean Break Theatre Company, at the Battersea Arts Centre and the THE WIDE SARGASSO SEA, adapted by Rukhsana Ahmad, for Radio 4. Television and film includes SILENT WITNESS, DESMOND’S, CORONATION STREET and the multi award-winning short film, PERFECT IMAGE?
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.
