Jay Clift is one of Canada's most sought after and celebrated theatre performers. Since graduating from Vancouver's prestigious theatre conservatory, Studio 58, Jay has not stopped working, collecting a nearly unprecedented twenty-two professional theatre credits from every major city in the country. Jay is a two time nominee and one time winner of the Jessie Richardson Theatre Award. In 2014 Jay was recognized as the most promising newcomer in Canadian Theatre with the prestigious Sam Payne Award. Jay won the first position lead in the Peabody Award winning director, Leon Lee's 2016 feature film, The Bleeding Edge. The Bleeding Edge was the recipient of the 2016 Gabriel award and is now being distributed around the world on iTunes and Amazon.
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.
