Virginia Quinn

Based in the U.K, Virginia Quinn is a highly experienced wildlife and specialist factual producer and director for the world’s major broadcasters. Her work on landmark series and singles has taken her across Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe to some of the most beautiful and remote places on the planet, filming extraordinary people, stories and spectacular wildlife along the way.  From the most sensitive of topics to the most technically difficult to shoot, her films reflect both the aesthetic visuals of story telling as much as the narrative resulting in beautifully crafted films and returning clients.  She has experience directing small intimate crews and large docu drama crews, from 3 to 80 plus, and is not fazed by working in the most far flung of locations, or with highly dangerous animals, or ambitious set ups and CGI.  Virginia has also had several of her own documentary ideas commissioned throughout her career. Among them, films produced through Kingdom Films, the production company she co – founded with renowned predator behaviourist Kevin Richardson.  A passion for the wild and its conservation led her to South Africa over a decade ago and a home on a game reserve close to the Kruger National Park in between filming projects. There she continues to spend her free time gaining practical experience and insight into conservation, bush skills and animal behaviour.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
