A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Susan Bain is a seasoned stage and screen actor. Her body of experience represents professionalism that balances creative dedication to the process. Her commitment is centered on strong performance that reflects the director's vision. From the light-hearted, caring character in Hallmark’s Swept Up by Christmas to darker qualities opposite Anna Paquin in Bellevue, and Jake Gyllenhaal in Source Code, Susan Bain brings considerable talent and depth to her work. Equally at ease with comedic and dramatic roles, or dramatic parts tinged with humour, Susan always provides a layered performance. The spectrum of her television and feature work in Canadian and international productions is both insightful and playful. Nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in Mob (Centaur Theatre) is a nod to Susan’s level of personal engagement both with her role of Louise and her deep dedication to the ensemble. Susan is experienced in studio voice work and gaming. Recently her work as a director and acting teacher garnered a faithful following.
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.
