Original Title:
The Uprising
The Uprising is a reality television show centering around the lives and ministry of Jay Haizlip, Brian Sumner, and Christian Hosoi. Together and with the help of many others, they use their collective backgrounds as professional skateboarders as they comb skate parks, backyard pools, and other hangouts in an effort to spread the Gospel of Christ. Committed to affecting the world around them, the trio shares their faith and hope with friends, drug addicts, and even police. Through their ministry and the show as well, cultural and religious boundaries are breached with an unconventional but truly biblical approach to ministry on a person to person level.
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.
