Emma Higgins is one of Canada's brightest emerging talents, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Developing her craft from a young age while working in different positions throughout the film industry, she has honed a unique voice and understanding of the film making process. Now accomplished in her own right, her visionary approach to music videos has made her one of the most sought after directors in her field, making videos for some of the country's top artists and gaining views in the millions. Her passion for story telling is obvious in her videos and short films which have garnered significant critical praise, including Best Short Film at the 2011 Oregon Film Festival ,Best Music Video at the 2014 Los Angeles Reel Film Festival, Best video nominee at the 2015 BCCMA's, Best new artist video at the 2016 MMVA's, Official Selection AGLIFF 2011, Best Director Nominee at the 2015 BCCMA's, official selection Palm beach Women's Festival, Official selection Sacramento Horror Festival and official selection at the 2011 CFC Short film festival. Her work has been featured on international broadcast television including features on Entertainment Tonight, Billboard Music Awards, CTV, Much Music, CMT, MTV and many more. In 2015 Higgins was awarded a BravoFACT grant for her original short film “Currency” (2016) and was selected for the Bell Media Sound and Vision film challenge with her short film “God Hates a Coward” (2016). With several feature length scripts currently in development, Higgins has now set her sights on directing her highly anticipated debut feature.

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.
