Biography from TheMovieDB

Seamus Gibney is a writer, actor, director, and composer based in Calgary, Alberta. In 2019, Seamus created the mockumentary web series "Finger Lickin the SHOW" (2019–2024), a two-season, six-episode project that follows fictionalized versions of Seamus and his friend Travis in their increasingly deranged quest for YouTube fame. Each episode pays deliberate homage to different films and television genres—sometimes borrowing entire soundtracks. The series serves as a loose tribute to Nirvanna the Band the Show, making Finger Lickin—in Seamus’s words—“a parody of a parody,” both ironic and poetic in its conception. Yet the show moves beyond parody. What begins with high schoolers chasing internet clout soon spirals into surreal escapades involving Pokémon card heists, matrix delusions from beef jerky "do not eat" packets, and laundering money for a suspiciously all white “Mexican drug cartel.” The final episode shifts tone dramatically, deconstructing the show itself as Seamus (both character and creator) ends the series with closure—setting the stage for a new creative chapter. In 2024, Seamus founded "pinewick productions". Its debut short film, "easy on the turns" (in development), follows two characters—Matt and Jay—on a lulling late-night road trip with a trunk full of a third person’s belongings. A slow-burning exploration of memory, maturity and what we leave behind.

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.
