A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Cayla Berejikian is a New York-based actress, writer, and teaching artist. She trained as an actor at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and Stonestreet Studios while attending New York University, where she also studied psychology and film production. She have also trained at The Barrow Group and HB Studio. Since late 2021, she has accrued screen acting credits on a variety of independent projects and three feature films. She began writing for the stage in 2018. Since then, she have written and directed several original plays for festivals in New York City. As a growing artist, she strives to maintain a playful and curious attitude in all areas of life. This philosophy influences her work as a teaching artist. She has created, modified, and implemented drama and screen-acting curricula for children of all ages. Rather than solely emphasising craft or technique, she also focus on developing each child's creative intuition. Her goal is to help young people strengthen their natural curiosity and build trust in themselves.
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.
