A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Shannon Frank was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is the niece of Emmy Award-winning actor Gary Frank and producer Carroll Newman, and cousin of actress Jessica Frank. Shannon was a finalist in the 1989 and 1991 Miss San Jose Pageants and won the title of Miss Congeniality. She has modeled for numerous campaigns such as Blockbuster Video, City of San Jose, Burbank Suzuki, RGB Studios and many others. Her two sons, Jamie and Jacob, have modeled for national campaigns such as Mervyn's, Macy's, New York Times Square, City of San Jose, and Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. Shannon and her sons were the cover models in the "2008 Best of the Best" Promotional Ad for the upscale "iMotion Studios" in Los Gatos, California. In addition, Kaiser Permanente has featured Shannon and her sons in their April 2008 Inside Connection, in an article depicting life with autism. Since 2007, Shannon Frank has contributed creative talent for many of Kaiser Permanente's internal instructional videos at the Santa Clara, California hospital and medical center.
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.
