A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Kevin Kaouthomn (Kevin Dunning) is an actor with an opulent tenor and nuanced character voice with training in both the European and Asian baroque vocal styles, and has studied and taught sacred sound & vocal meditation on yoga retreats and in private classes under the tutelage of Grammy-nominated New Age recording artist Silvia Nakkach. During his years in international sacred voice studies, Kevin studied music in world cultures from India, Bhutan, Tibet, the Amazon and others, affording him a subtle voice with a deft emotional and intellectual timbre. Kevin was the only person to produce a daily gamut of nearly 80 Shakespearean Sonnets in tandem with Sir Patrick Stewart's daily #asonnetaday Shakespeare masterclass for his 80th birthday during the 2020 COVID pandemic. Kevin's effort honors the mastery of this great actor, and the Shakespeare lineage, and is in its pith a love letter to Kevin's daughter. Kevin also has a background in multiple producing Broadway companies to pair with a career caring for the needs of confidential clientele in several esteemed international executive recruiting firms.
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.
