A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Born:
April 7, 1999
Discovered by the late casting director Mali Finn, (Titanic/The Matrix), who found Anna Paquin and Keisha Castle-Hughes, Elle Peterson starred in the acclaimed Warner Bros. drama " North Country", alongside Academy Award winners Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, Sissy Spacek, Woody Harrelson, Academy Award nominee Richard Jenkins and Sean Bean, directed by Niki Caro (Whale Rider). Elle played Charlize's young daughter, Karen Aimes. Ms. Theron and Ms. McDormand received Academy Award nominations for their roles in the movie. Elle was also cast as "Young Hildy" in one of the popular Hallmark Channel "Jane Doe" movies of the week - "Eye of The Beholder", starring and directed by Lea Thompson, (Back to the Future). As well as auditioning for future movie, television, voice-over and theatrical roles, Elle enjoys ballet, tap, & jazz dance, horse jumping and playing the piano and clarinet.
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.
