A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

West Vancouver, British Columbia
Kate Bateman is an Actress, Director and Producer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Born in the UK, she spent most of her life in Edmonton, where she studied acting in the BA and BFA programs at the University of Alberta. During those years, she co-founded the company Theatre Plastic and learned how to splice 16mm film stock with the good people at FAVA. Memorable theatre credits playing King Lear in KING LEAR, Ophelia in HAMLET, Karen in SPEED-THE-PLOW, Varya in THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Queen Elizabeth 1 in THE CLINK, Chick Boyle in Crimes of the Heart, Claire Zachanassian in THE VISIT, and Heloise in the one-woman show she adapted and produced, entitled HELOISE, OBSERVED ONE NIGHT AT THE MOMENT OF TEMPTATION. She played the lead in an epic short film, TORA, starring opposite David Suzuki in his first-ever acting role; co-stars and co-produces the ongoing web series THE ACTRESS DIARIES, which earned her a Leo Award; and cherishes both her therapeutic work with VANCOUVER PLAYBACK THEATRE and ongoing creation work with THE ASSEMBLY, an all-womxn clown troupe in Vancouver.
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.
