A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Emily Thomas grew up in Huntsville, Alabama. She attended Interlochen Arts Academy High School, a private preparatory school in Michigan, before heading to New York City to study at The Juilliard School. Thomas has appeared on national television in ABC's daytime soap All My Children, HBO's Bored to Death, Comedy Central's Important Things with Demetri Martin, Fox's The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, FX's Rescue Me and Fuse's Let's Rock, You Roll. Thomas has starred as the lead in the independent features Metalheads: The Good, the Bad and the Evil and Daft Queens. In addition to her passion for theatre and film, Thomas is a professional musician. She has toured all over the world performing her own compositions and arrangements, as well as premiering many pieces written for her. While her training was in classical music, she has performed a broad spectrum of musical genres, including Rock, Jazz, and Blue Grass as a singer, pianist, flutist and guitarist. She has been able to combine both talents by composing and performing in the film In the Cards, the Secret Theatre's production of Macbeth, as well as for All My Children. Emily lives in Los Angeles actively pursuing her music and acting careers.
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.
