Biography from TheMovieDB

Zach Robinson is an LA based composer, arranger, music producer, and electronic musician.  After receiving his degree in music composition from Northwestern University, Zach worked closely as a collaborator with film composer Christophe Beck, writing additional music for feature films such as Frozen, Edge of Tomorrow, Ant-Man, Sisters, and The Peanuts Movie.  In 2016, Zach co-composed and oversaw all music production of YouTube’s first developed sitcom, “Sing It!” created by YouTube superstars, The Fine Brothers. He also composed the music for the Fine's first feature film, F!@# The Prom, and the score for USA's "NFL Football Fanatic."  Zach's passion lies in the fantastic. He is a mega-fan of classic B-film horror, space epics, lounge exotica, smokey noir, buddy cop movies, and 1980's retro-futures.  Since 2009, Zach has created 1980's inspired electronic music under the pseudonym D/A/D (DEE-AY-DEE). His most recent album The Construct (2013) was named one of the best cassette releases of 2013 by NPR and received critical acclaim from numerous online publications including Pitchfork, Ad Hoc, and FACT Magazine.

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.
