Biography from TheMovieDB

Kalama Epstein was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and is the youngest of three children. His first name means "flaming torch" in Hawaiian. Performing runs in his genes, and he has been modeling and performing since he was a baby, with a lifelong passion for film and film-making. He realized he also enjoyed being in front of the camera after co-starring on an episode of Hawaii Five-0 (2010). Since then, Kalama has spent the majority of his time in Los Angeles pursuing his dreams of acting and directing. He has landed starring roles in the Amazon Studios pilot Maker Shack Agency (2014), the Nickelodeon show Deadtime Stories (2012), and the feature film Under the Blood-Red Sun (2014). He has guest starred on a variety of shows including CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015), Nickelodeons Bella and the Bulldogs (2015), Disney's Dog with a Blog (2012), and will be seen in a recurring role in The Fosters, season 4. Kalama was the lead in the award winning short film The Kid (2013), written and directed by Sean Brosnan. He has also co-starred on an episode of HBO's Ray Donovan (2013) and was the principal in numerous national commercials.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
