Crys Walter is an Albertan Assistant Director with over 10 years of experience in the local film and tv industry. Since graduating from SAIT Polytechnic's FVP Program in 2015, she has spent much of her time experiencing the best that rural Alberta has to offer through a variety of commercial and feature productions, as well as multiple seasons of CBC’s Heartland, Seven24’s Wynonna Earp, Paramount’s Joe Pickett, and FX’s Fargo. After being honored to find herself on two different DGC Award-winning Directorial teams, she recently decided to take on the role of AD Caucus Representative for the ADC, where her focus has been on the professional development of Alberta’s young film-workers, as well as her efforts to connect ADs across the country. Her passions include night-gardening (because everything thrives during the summer, and that includes business), horror movies, her fiancé and the menagerie of pets they have at home, and forming deep connections with her communities, both professional and personal.

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.
