A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Raymond Power is a multifaceted talent with Puerto Rican roots, hailing from Tacoma, Washington. Recognized for his performances in Steven Soderbergh's KIMI (2021) and Due Justice (2023) opposite Kellan Lutz, Raymond has quickly become a compelling force in the Pacific Northwest film industry-both in front of and behind the camera. Raymond's journey is one of resilience and transformation. Raised in a tumultuous environment marked by abuse, addiction, and violence, he found solace and inspiration in the movies he watched at his grandmother's home. After surviving years of gang involvement and homelessness, the birth of his first child became the turning point that fueled his commitment to change. He went on to earn two college degrees and became a powerful voice on perseverance, speaking publicly about overcoming adversity. His passion for storytelling was ignited at Pierce College, where he trained in theater, and deepened at The Film School in Seattle, where he studied under Emmy and WGA award-winning writers and director Josh Taft. Raymond launched his creative journey in community theater before making a name for himself in film-expanding his work to include producing, camera operation, and grip/gaffer work for major brands, films, and documentaries. As a grip, Raymond has contributed to numerous high-profile productions, including serving on the Seattle team for the Netflix documentary Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster (2024). He has also worked on national campaigns for brands like BECU, Chex Mix, and Kaiser Permanente, as well as projects for the Seattle Seahawks and Peso Pluma. Known for his precision, speed, and reliability on set, Raymond brings the same passion and discipline to every position he takes on. Today, Raymond is committed to telling authentic, impactful stories that reflect the resilience of real people. Through his production company with partner Chloes Ciara, he continues to develop original work that gives voice to underrepresented communities and characters shaped by adversity. Driven by lifelong learning, family, and a fierce dedication to his craft, Raymond Power is building a legacy rooted in purpose, grit, and growth.
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.
