A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Julia Lim
Im Sung Min is a South Korean actress and former announcer. She obtained a master's degree in Broadcasting and Media from Yonsei University. She made her debut as part of the 14th KBS open recruitment for announcers in 1991 as her family opposed her dreams of acting. After working at KBS for 10 years, she ended her contract and became a freelance announcer. She became the first female to be a quiz show MC when she hosted EBS's "Scholarship Quiz" in 2004. A year later, she began lecturing in broadcasting and acting as a professor at Baekje University of Arts, a position she held until 2016. In 2011, she married American professor Michael Unger who was teaching filmmaking at Sogang University at the time. The couple moved to New York and she acted in the off-Broadway musical "Green Card" in 2016-2017. She entered the American market in 2018 when she signed a contract with a management company and began using her English name, Julia Lim.
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.
