Chris was raised in Victoria BC. He has a BFA from the University of Victoria, and now resides in Toronto Ontario. Though Peter N’ Chris keeps Chris busy enough, he works in Toronto as a comedian and writer, working with Bad Dog Theatre Company and performing weekly shows with Canadian Comedy Award winning Sketch Troupe “Get Some”. He worked on the CityTV Prank Show “Meet the Family” and can be seen in the upcoming SuperChannel show “What Would Sal Do?” – playing a young Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall). Along with Peter he is a writer for the CBC website Punchline, CBC Radio’s The Irrelevant Show and the upcoming web-series White Ninja, voiced by ‘Paul Scheer’ (FX’s The League)
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:

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.
