Biography from TheMovieDB

Guillermo de la Rosa is an award-winning Venezuelan writer-director based in Toronto, Canada. His work has been supported by the Toronto, Ontario, and Canada Arts Councils.  A York University graduate with a BFA in Film Production, his directorial work has screened in North America, South America, and Europe, including A Noise That Carries (Toronto After Dark, PANIC Fest, Renegade Film Festival), Light for Freedom (JAYU Human Rights Film Festival, Buddhist Film Festival Europe), and The Crocodile and the Capybara (distributed by Bell Media). Most recently, his horror short Re: Julia premiered on Deformed Lunchbox.  He is also the author of Su Grito en el Viento, a blog where he adapts real- life encounters with ghosts and apparitions into short stories. He co-wrote The Shadow of the Sun, Venezuela’s entry for the 96th Academy Awards.  Guillermo’s films draw from Venezuelan folklore, where the mundane and the otherworldly intertwine. Blending naturalism with magical realism, he challenges perceptions of belonging and normalcy, and marries the grotesque with the beautiful.  He is currently developing his first feature film, a horror-comedy about spectres and the nature of death in South America.

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.
