A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Daniah de Villiers
Birthplace:
Cape Town, South Africa
Born:
January 1, 2003
Her love of acting emerged at a tender age. At just 10 years old, she began taking acting and singing classes, taking part in countless festivals and competitions and winning a regional drama prize. In 2013, she was awarded the Junior Grand Champion award for acting at the World Championship of Performing Arts in Hollywood. Daniah is a young, passionate actor who began her career in 2014 in South African and international commercials, and has now amassed a hefty portfolio of on-camera experiences. From 2015 to 2018, she filmed the lead role in Mia and the White Lion, her first silver-screen experience. In parallel, she has also had leading roles in South African television series (“Nul is Nie Niks Nie”, “Vaselinetjie”, “DatingGameKiller”, “Meerkat Maantuig”, “Binnelanders”).
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.
