Aileen Leblanc

Aileen LeBlanc is a journalist, producer and director whose work in television, film and public radio has earned more than 40 regional and national awards. Her documentary Local DCB is slated to air on public television stations nationwide in April, 2006.  After an initial career in theatre as a lighting designer, LeBlanc began her broadcasting life as a weekend cameraman for the local news at an ABC affiliate in Wilmington NC. Over the next 11 years she worked her way through positions in public service, promotions and creative service and into management at a CBS affiliate. For two years she ran and co-owned an advertising/marketing agency.  LeBlanc then applied for a production job in public radio and instead was given her own show Sounds Local which she produced and hosted for seven years. She brought the program to Ohio in 1999 when she was hired at WYSO as News Director. Her public radio work has been heard on NPR, RTE, CBC, Monitor Radio, Pacifica and Voice of America.  One report that she did for Sounds Local and NPR was the story of top secret codebreaking operations in Dayton, Ohio during WWII. This led her to get back into video and to the production of her first film

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.
