A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Dawson City, Yukon, Canada
28 year-old Karl Knutson was born into the gold mining life. His father Marty came to Dawson City from North Vancouver, BC in 1980 and established himself as a major player in the Yukon gold mining industry. Karl’s mother Maryann is First Nations, a heritage that Karl is proud to share. Karl works in the family business with his childhood buddies as his crew. He has a house in Dawson with his girlfriend Victoria and his faithful sidekick Lennox, a half cocker spaniel, half Karelian bear dog. Last season Karl earned Marty’s respect, proving he could manage the Sulphur Creek mine. This season his sights are set on opening a new mine on Last Chance Creek and making it profitable.
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.
