A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

River Cassius Codack
Birthplace:
Ontario, Canada
Actor River Codack was born in Ontario and made the move to the West Coast at age 10. He became fascinated with acting at 14 and started his acting career with a lead role in the award-winning short film Crumbs, as part of the renowned Crazy 8's film festival. Since then he has guest-starred in the Netflix series Grendel and in a lead role in the independent short film My Name is Arnold, for which he was nominated for best actor in a leading role at the Vancouver Short Film Festival (2023). He performed in the second season of CBC Gem’s Son of a Critch as a recurring guest-star, and had a recurring principal role in the mini-series Under The Bridge. River also played the role of teen Nathan in Heartland, Hayden in the independent feature film What Comes Next, Zach in Tracker and a missionary in the upcoming A24 feature film Heretic starring Hugh Grant.
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.
