Biography from TheMovieDB

Poom Saiyavath was born in Bangkok in 1987. He moved to London in 2008, where he completed a BA in Filmmaking at the University of the Arts, London. During his studies, he began to expand his onset experience, working his way up from Spark to Gaffer to Camera Assistant and finally to Director of Photography, across a number of short film projects.  Upon graduating, he shot his first feature film entitled The Milky Way (2013). Seeking to broaden his film knowledge even more, he joined the London Film School in 2013, where he recently completed his Masters in Filmmaking. Projects he has worked on during this time have screened at BAFTA and Academy Award Qualifying Festivals, such as Leeds International Film Festival, and Austin Film Festival. He currently works both as a DoP and Camera operator, for a variety of productions ranging from low-budget independent films to larger scale projects. Outside film, he has shot for many events (such as London Fashion Week 2013-2015), and live music shows (such as London Live 2015). He is currently based between London and Bangkok.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
