Tehran, Iran

April 6, 1983
Nima Borna ( Born 6 April 1983 Tehran ) is an Iranian Musical artist, Singer and songwriter. At the young age of 11, he moved to the United States with his parents and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. However, his strong bond and affection with his homeland and its people is the reason he pursued Iranian music and frequent visits to Iran. After completion of high school and college, he gained his bachelor's degree in biological sciences from University of California, Irvine. He then traveled to China to pursue his passion for the martial arts of kung fu and lived there for a year. Upon returning to the United States, he attended West Virginia University's School of Pharmacy and graduated with a doctorate in Pharmacy in 2016. Nima then returned to California and currently practices as a Pharmacist alongside his musical career. Art Resume.
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.
