A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Ella is a special FX makeup artist by day and a DJ and model by night. Some of the companies she has worked for include Emo Nite LA, Riot Nerd, and Eastern State Penitentiary. She avidly enjoys painting, traveling, dancing with friends, and spending time with her cat when she is not working. With a background in fine arts and a BFA in music business and technology from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, Ella has also studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and takes a large influence from her experiences abroad. She is inspired by all things weird, wicked, and whimsical, drawing influence from anything ranging from Sanrio characters to gothic cathedrals. A lover of all things cute and creepy, she seeks a way to always find lavender in a cemetery or a skeleton in a Barbie dream house. Ella is an energetic nocturnal spirit who never stops wanting to explore every nook and cranny the world has to offer.

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.
