Aliyah Mastin plays Presley Collins in the new political thriller series Paradise, with Sterling K. Brown as her on-screen father Agent Xavier Collins, and the series (which was created by Dan Fogelman) premiered on Hulu in January and streams on Disney+ in the UK. Further screen projects for Aliyah include the Netflix documentary Stamped From the Beginning, and she played Maya in Honey Girls for her first screen role, which is a film based upon a top-selling Build-A-Bear Workshop line, with a cast including Ava Grace as Charlie and Frankie McNellis as Alex, both of whom Aliyah was part of Acapop! KIDS with. As a stage actor, Aliyah made her Broadway debut playing Young Nala in The Lion King, and her upcoming work includes the renewed Series 2 of Paradise and she is writing music and hopes to release songs this year.
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.
