Biography from TheMovieDB

Xanthe Pajarillo is a director-writer and Air Force veteran from Germany and Virginia. Her upbringing in a smorgasbord of cultures brought her to filmmaking. She has a passion for directing horror films about women. Xanthe hosted a radio show "Music to be Murdered By," which highlighted the academic and spiritual importance of horror cinema, and has written for Bloody Disgusting and KXSC.  In 2018, she and her team raised over 40K via Seed&Spark for production of the web series, "Airmen." It received an Honorable Mention from the Tim Disney Prize for Excellence in the Storytelling Arts. In 2016 her activism for the McRib caught the attention of Al Roker and McDonald's. A video of her speech amassed 8 million views, and the supporting documentary and protest song hold over 107K views combined.  She is currently pursuing her MFA in Film and Television Production from USC's School of Cinematic Arts. She holds a BFA from CalArts, and is an intern alumni of HBO, Will and Jada Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, and Michel Gondry's Partizan Entertainment.

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.
