Biography from TheMovieDB

Effie Lavore (b. Bethany Love Orr) was raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she and her siblings were home schooled and restricted access to most media. She discovered theatre and film upon entering high school, teaming up with the traveling improv group Theatrical Garbage and becoming the youngest comedienne to perform in a weekly show at her hometown comedy club. While continuing to perform locally Lavore earned a degree in science from the University of Colorado with plans to continue on to medical school, but she ultimately opted for a career in entertainment.  She has been featured on shows like Criminal Minds and Stalker, as well as multiple film and web projects. In 2012 Lavore made her directorial debut with the original short film Agorable. Her second short, Winner, was made in 7 days for $100 and went on to win $10,000 in prizes from the inaugural Collaboration Filmmakers Challenge Fest in Hollywood. Lavore was hand-selected to study with Werner Herzog in his Rogue Film School. She was a fellow of the Transatlantic Talent Lab (RIFF), Iceland's first-time feature filmmaker incubator.  She continues to write and direct and stars in the feature film Excess Flesh (SXSW 2015).

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.
