A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
朱薇安
Birthplace:
Taipei, Taiwan
Born in Taipei Taiwan, Tiffany grew up in San Jose. She went on to study Drama, and Film & Media Studies as an Anteater at the University of California, Irvine. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, she was crowned the 2015 Miss Taiwanese American Pageant 1st Princess, also winning the Best Talent award for playing the erhu. Tiffany plays the AI robot, Sophie in Artificial, Twitch’s first Emmy “Outstanding Innovation in Interactive Media” (also Twitch's first ever original and interactive show). She also starred as the lead in Miss Purple, a movie (dir. by Justin Chon) that premiered at 2019 Sundance Film Festival in competition and picked up by Oscilloscope. She co-produced and starred in, “Toenail”, a short film (dir. by Jingyi Shao), that won 3rd place at the HBO APA Visionaries Competition. She is also a producer and host on the "Your Buddy Justin Lee" podcast, available on iTunes. Outside of creating, she LOVES food, music, hot yoga, film photography, mixed martial arts, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and bookmarking food places on yelp. Always seeking truth in each character in different dimensions. Perhaps perspective is the balance.
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.
