Adam Lau

According to his parents, Adam's acting journey started at the dinner table at the age of 5. After growing up overseas, he attended a Performing Arts High School, and then majored in Musical Theatre in College at James Madison University. Then, "things really got interesting."  Within a week from graduating, Adam packed his bags, and headed to Portland, Oregon. During his small two year stint, he experienced acting in his first feature film. Additionally, he received a review for a role in a local theater production that said "perhaps a comedic acting genius." That hubris alone paved the way to make the big move to Los Angeles!  Since then, "it's been 8 years of eating humble pie, but with a great gratitude of experience." In addition to Actor's Comedy Studio, Adam has trained with the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Judy Kain's commercial class, Voice Masters, and many others. He held company with the Creating Arts Center, where the Aces of Improv were born, and he taught/performed improv with for many years. These connections grew great while performing at Fringe Festivals, and gathering a roster of cast/crew that has led to making a number of self-made productions (which he describes as "ultra ultra ultra low budget...you know what I mean").  Even during the pandemic he couldn't keep still, and became an entertainment streamer on the Twitch platform for online enjoyment. Once the lockdown veil was drawn, it was back to the real world, and Adam made his way as a producer during the remainder of 2022.  This year, you can catch a couple of shows he has produced: a short film that is a modern spin on an old story, called "Jack," and a romantic comedy about dating someone with D.I.D., called "My Favorite Girlfriend." Inhibiting his musical passion, he released a music video that depicts hilarious, yet somewhat crude, quotes from an online streamer, called "Betta's Lament," which can be found on YouTube. He has several features, shorts, pilots, and other ideas that are looking to go into production for the upcoming year, so be on the lookout!  Adam is currently looking for representation, particularly in voice over, and looks forward to making funny voices, movies, and laughs for everyone for years to come!  You can follow Adam and watch his goofy content on Instagram @AdamLau or Youtube by searching Adam Lau Comedy

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
