A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Westport, Massachusetts
Verity was born in the small New England town of Westport, Massachusetts and is of Portuguese and Italian decent. She received her Master's in Fine Arts Degree in Acting from The University of Texas at Austin. She is the two time recipient of The Austin Critic's Table Award for her stage work. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the North Eastern Film Festival for her portrayal of "Maysie," in the indie darling, "Sunny in the Dark." After launching her unapologetic YouTube Channel "The Foodie Girls," Verity was picked up by the Food Channel and listed in Glamour Magazine as one of the "Top 10 Funniest Ladies to Follow." Most recently Verity was nominated for a Beyond Bechtel Playwright Award for the world premiere of her play, SpiritWheel: a peek inside the cult of spin, a parody on the trendy indoor cycling studio, SoulCycle.
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.
