A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Christopher Grant
Christopher Pearson
Birthplace:
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
Christopher was born and raised just north of Boston MA. If you have ever seen any quaint idyllic stock footage of New England then you've seen where he grew up. Early on he dreamt of being an archeologist, because dinosaurs are unbelievably cool. Then somewhere around third grade, much to the confusion of his parents, he began acting in community theatre productions and the idea of bones in the desert transformed into tiny dressing rooms and long grueling tech weeks. He attended Emerson College in Boston and graduated with a degree in Theatre Studies: Acting. He has trained at UCB, with award winning director Jeremy O'Keefe, and with Rob Mello Studio. Since his move to Los Angeles he has become a part of the amazing small theatre community here, having worked with The Blank, The Lounge, Sacred Fools, Theatre of Note, and Brimmer Street Theatre, and his creative home Celebration Theatre where he has been a company member for 9 years. Christopher Grant Pearson is known for Ghosted (2017), Crush (2009) and Shared Rooms (2016).
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.
