A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Verona Blue is originally from Toronto but arrived in Los Angeles by way of Bristol and London, where she received classical, conservatory training in voice, movement and text at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She excels at weapons and combat, holds a BADC advanced certificate under Fight Master Jonathan Howell, and is extremely easy to find at an airport. Realising her niche was strong, but limited, Verona began creating her own opportunities with a group creative friends and colleagues. Her first film (and reel!) "Elizabeth" won Best Editing and was nominated for Best Actress at the Indie Horror Film Festival in Chicago in 2013. With a professional background in web development and extensive experience working on film industry related websites, she has a lot going on. Verona lives in east Los Angeles with her husband and their 5 dogs.

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.
