A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Anna Ross is a singer songwriter with an extensive career in the music industry. Ross was first signed by the head of Chrysalis records with her band The V corporation. After the band finished Ross moved from Newcastle to London and has since worked with many well known artists including Tina Turner, Sting, Mark Ronson, Janelle Monae, Nile Rodgers ,TomJones, Stereophonics, Jamiroquai and most notably Duran Duran who she has done 4 world tours with. Career highlights include playing Coechella, Live Aid, the opening of the Olympics and performing one of her own compositions for Croatian TV on Christmas Day 2017. In between tours she has gained degrees both in Literature and psychology and it has been a natural progression to bring these experiences together to focus on her own music. Ross’s first album included 3 collaborations with Simon Le Bon; Nick Rhodes directed a video for it and John Taylor remixed a track. Her second album sees her exploring more jazz influences and collaborating with long time friend, Grammy winning writer Phil Ramocon, and French artists Foehn Trio and Jeremy Hababou who she first saw at the Chamonix Jazz festival.
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.
