Jessica Hsuan, also known as Suen Huen, 宣萱, is a Hong Kong actress most well-known for her extensive career with local network TVB. Hsuan started her career in late 1992 and early 1993, and was named as one of the top five most popular actresses between the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. Some of her most prominent work during this period included: "Old Time Buddy" (1997), "Witness to a Prosecution" (1999), "A Step into the Past" (2001), and "Life Made Simple" (2005). Her alma mater is the Imperial College London.
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.
