Alan Sun Kim (born April 23, 2012) is an American child actor. At the age of 7 years old, he stole hearts and earned rave reviews for his portrayal of 'David Yi,' a first generation American-Korean living in rural Arkansas with a heart condition, in Lee Isaac Chung's American epic, 'Minari.' Now 8, Alan won the 2021 Critics' Choice Award for 'Best Young Actor/Actress,' and he was nominated for a BAFTA in the category of 'Best Supporting Actor in a Film.' 'Minari' won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. Alan is in the 3rd grade, and his favorite subject is Math. He loves riding a bike and making something creative with paper in his free time. He also loves to be a silly brother to Cream, his one-year-old dog. Alan will next be seen starring in the independent film LATCHKEY KIDS.
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.
