Spencer Whiteout (b. 1995)

Born:
September 21, 1995

I grew up in the small town of Grass Valley. My friends and I would spend our time skateboarding and exploring all of the surrounding areas. My love of filmmaking ignited as soon as I got a hold of my mom's 480p digital camera. From that point on, it was making skate video after skate video.  As the years passed, I found myself gravitating toward grander projects. Skate videos no longer provided the same level of creative freedom and personal fulfillment I was searching for. I went to Biola University and graduated in Fall 2018 with a Bachelor's Degree in Film Production.  From 2017 to 2021, I dedicated myself to writing/directing my first feature film, Space Waves, on practically no budget. The reason I stuck with the massive undertaking was simple: I believed wholeheartedly in the story I was telling. I wrote the movie I wanted to see within the parameters of the story I needed to tell.  My approach has always been challenging myself to transform pain into purpose and demonstrate that through the medium of film. Facing personal trauma and finding ways to redeem pain is the way I can help others see the light. This is what my life's work is all about.  -Spencer Whiteout

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.
