From complete anonymity to the dizzying heights of internet stardom, the "Samonikli" series follows the meteoric rise of Sway, a charismatic influencer with a mysterious past and a gift for performance. Abandoned as a child, with only a violin and a key on a red ribbon, Sway grew up in an orphanage with a man who was like a father to him and a friend who was like a brother to him. But when fame calls, loyalty and love take a back seat.
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:
