HI, I'm Sophia I grew up in North Carolina. I started out in Musical Theater at 5 years old, and absolutely LOVE it! About 7th grade is when I decided that I'd like to try commercial and film acting and so I made my way out to California with my mom's help. I'm not afraid to put in long hours. I work hard, listen, take direction well and can memorize my sides quickly and accurately. Acting is something I will always love. Among my other interests are Marine Biology, Scuba diving, Animals, golf, gymnastics, snow/water skiing, hiking, Music, Reading, Writing and hanging out with my friends. I LOVE motor sports, like 4wheeling; getting muddy is awesome and I'm just willing to try anything once. I graduated from High School early and started right into College with a Marine Biology Major. I am also 17 chapters in to writing a Young/Adult Fantasy Fiction Novel. I think ya'll will love it when it's finished. I Love Animals and Love Riding Horses.

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.
