A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

When Emma was little, she hated being the centre of attention so going on any sort of stage was dreaded and typically unsuccessful. Then when she was ten, something clicked and she suddenly wanted to try her hand at acting. She joined a theatre group and to her surprise, loved it. She proceeded to do some background extra work for film and TV, and after getting a taste of life on set, decided she wanted to aim for bigger roles. So she got an agent, started auditioning… and here she is now. Emma grew up in a small town east of Vancouver, BC surrounded by mountains, so for someone who loves the outdoors there were plenty of adventures to be had. Hiking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and swimming in the frigid rivers have been regular pastimes. Emma’s acting has been described as “subtle and lovely, layered work”.
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.
