Charissa Saverio (born 7 December 1969), better known by her stage name DJ Rap, is a British drum and bass, house music and progressive electronic music producer and DJ. Charissa Saverio (DJ RAP), is the undisputed queen of the turntables and considered to be one of the pioneers in drum & bass and Jungle music. She infiltrated the electronic music scene with unparalleled passion and innovation that has influenced generations of producers and DJs. She has established herself as the owner of her labels Propa and Impropa Talent, produces her own original music, and has collaborated with the likes of BT, Eric Morrillo, Hans Zimmer, Hybid, and DJ Tydi. Beyond her own musical endeavors, Rap has produced music for PlayStation, Wii, and 7 major movies. Her film and commercial music scores and custom sound designs have been featured for Twix, Mission Impossible (Tom Cruise), Isolation, Run Lola Run, Enough (J-lo), Rogue Trader (Ewan McGregor) and four documentaries. She also has an extensive catalog that consists of over 300 compositions. Her love for music, inspiration and desire to break boundaries has elevated DJ Rap to a level of tastemaker authority that continues to push the limits of music and production.
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.
