A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
New Westminster - British Columbia - Canada
Laura Carly Miller was born in New Westminster in British Columbia. She grew up in Maple Ridge with her family, Ollie Miller (Father), Darlene Miller (Mother), and her younger sister Sarah Miller. Early on Laura had an affinity for performing. She started dancing competitively at the age of five and continued dancing all the way through university. Her love of the stage transferred over into the acting world when she was in high school where she joined drama classes and had the opportunity to play multiple leads in her schools plays. Once graduated high school, Laura went to Capilano Universities Acting for Stage and Screen program in North Vancouver for three years, earning herself a diploma. Since university she has been acting professionally in both local theatre shows and film and television in Vancouver. One of her more impressive feats, is the web series herself and her two girlfriends co-wrote, co-produced and co-starred in, The Support Group. The web series was produced under their production company Beyond Theatre Productions. BTP is a platform they use for sketch comedies, web series and plays they create themselves.
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.
