A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Titser is a Filipino drama television series created and developed by Nessa Valdellon and executive produced by Alemberg Ang for GMA News and Public Affairs. The ten-part series premiered on August 11, 2013, aired every Sunday night at 7:15 p.m. timeslot on GMA News TV, and on August 24, 2013 worldwide via GMA News TV International. It is directed by indie filmmaker and head of the Ateneo Filipino Department Dr. Alvin Yapan. The series discusses issues in Philippine education: lack of books and chairs and classrooms, corruption in the procurement process, the high dropout rate and the fact that majority of the Philippine population has only reached a high school level, or less of education.
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.
