A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Karlee's passion for performing began at the early age of four years old. She pursued her love of dance and musical theatre in her hometown Vancouver, BC. She has studied many forms of dance including tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop, Polynesian, modern and musical theatre. This early introduction to performing led to a life-long desire to entertain, whether in film or live theatre. It was a natural progression into acting that led her into formal actor's training in Las Vegas, NV where she trained with some of most respected acting coaches, honing and perfecting her craft. During her time in Las Vegas, she continued to follow her passion for living an active lifestyle and met a personal trainer with a background in professional boxing. He introduced her to the boxing world where she quickly found she had an affinity to the choreographed and structured moves so familiar to those who have studied formal dance genres. Karlee didn't immediately see this skill as one she would bring to the big screen one day, but has always believed in following your instincts. As it turns out, this was somewhat prophetic as the movie "Excelsis" makes extensive use of this skill set. Karlee now resides in Toronto, ON where she continues to build upon her skills through scene study and voice training classes. Karlee hopes to empower women with the message that no matter what happens in life, anything is possible with enough belief and perseverance! In fact, Karlee has always been drawn to roles that give hope even when the odds seem insurmountable. She hopes to inspire others to be the best they can be and to never give up. "Follow your heart and be open to possibilities - the rest will follow".
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.
