Doug Orchard

Birthplace:
United States

Doug Orchard, MLS, is The Motivation Factor’s Producer, Director, Cinematographer & Editor. He directed his first documentary film in 2009, ‘The Truth about Pandemic Flu’ which featured former US Health Secretary and 4-term Governor, Tommy Thompson, and the CDC, FDA, and world-leading scientists. He directed, filmed and edited ‘The Motivation Factor’ by himself (which he started in 2013), and shortly after beginning this project, he directed, filmed and edited ‘Revenue Reserve (2014)’ which received strong praise from that niche industry of commercial real estate. He completed ‘Fasting‘ in December 2017.  As a filmmaker, Mr. Orchard is interested in ideas that were universally practised historically but stopped as a consequence of technology, and its value to merits reconsideration with recent scientific “discovery.” He works with the world’s leading scientists, historians, and subject experts.  For, The Motivation Factor, he saw how at-risk children in inner cities could overcome circumstances through PE, which the film demonstrates.  Mr Orchard is politically neutral as a filmmaker. He takes a unique research approach to his films. He does not write out the film prior to his interviews, nor does he write questions prior to his interviews, but builds the entire project organically, and simply follows the story where it leads.

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.
