Paul Foster is an entertainment industry veteran with over a decade of experience under his belt. A Singaporean of mixed parentage (British/Chinese) Paul started off in reality and variety shows as early as 2002 and he has since successfully built a name for himself across the tri-factor in the entertainment industry as an: Actor, Model and Host. Representing himself on and off TV screens around the South East Asian region, Paul has covered acting in dramas for HBO Asia, Mediacorp Channel 5 and Mediacorp Suria, but has also ventured into a travel, sports and info-tainment hosting for Channel News Asia, Okto, Channel 5 and Hub Sports Arena. In between filming for these shows, Paul is also a successful emcee for live events such as product/store launches, Gala Dinners, D&D's, Press Conferences and other various media events. Outside of his acting, hosting and modelling scope, his affable and warm personality has made him a popular brand ambassador for Under Armour, Lacoste, L'Oreal and Tag Heuer, but also charitable causes and organisations such as the Run for Hope, the Animal Lovers League, Habitat for Humanity Singapore and the Happy Hearts Foundation Indonesia.
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.
