Guillaume Campanacci

Guillaume Campanacci was born and raised in Cannes, France. Shortly after obtaining his Masters in Industrial and Mechanical engineering, at the prestigious engineer school "Arts et Metiers" in Aix en Provence and Paris, Guillaume traveled the world as a model: Athens, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Miami, New York, yet modeling wasn't fulfilling his life. A cinema lover, inspired by a variety of staple films from the past, he started to devote his time to his true passions: writing, directing and acting. He began studying Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio in New York, and later with Anthony Abeson. In a short period of time Guillaume ended up working under the direction of Academy Award winner Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki and David Fincher, acted along such household names as Eva Longoria and Jane Fonda, and twice collaborated with the David Lynch Foundation, even receiving this compliment from David Lynch himself: "Guillaume, you are a great actor". After directing several Music Videos and Short Films, and writing several spec scripts (one of them awarded by Francis Ford Coppola himself), this refreshingly interesting, funny and charming auteur, reminiscent of a young Alain Delon, wrote, directed, produced and acted in Devils in Disguise, his first feature film, in a spirit of a true Renaissance man. It had its World Premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood where journalists compared him to Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch and Jean Luc Godard.

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.
