Biography from TheMovieDB

Shaun Chad Smit grew up in South Africa’s capital city, Pretoria, where he studied Musical Theatre at Tshwane University of Technology after graduating high school. He started his professional acting career in Henry Mylne’s theatre production of VASELINETJIE at Aardklop and Woordfees. Soon after, he starred in The Fugard Theatre’s hit musical production of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW as Rocky from 2013 to 2015. Shaun also took the stage again in Terence Makapan’s theatre production of the drama BENJI, at the National Art Festival in Makhanda.    A few of his TV/Film credits include; American TV series BLOOD DRIVE (SyFy), BLACK MIRROR (Netflix), Antenna Pictures’ HOW TO ROB A BANK, ERFSONDES (SABC2), DIE SPREEUS (KykNET), and LUI MAAR OP, BELINDA (KykNET), KLOOF (KykNET).    Shaun has been working as a cinematographer, colourist, and film editor for the last few years for various companies, including Afterdark Post Production, Red Blur and Wyrd Films. His first love will always be acting, but taking on different spheres in the film industry has opened up his mind as an actor and creator. "I'm always learning, whether it’s in the editing suite, behind the camera or in front of the camera - and I’m loving every second of it."    (From Shaun Chat Smit's biography, https://www.stellatalent.co.za/shaun-chad-smit.)

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
