Biography from TheMovieDB

Ivan King was born in Italy, on December 23th, 1989.  He attended an art school to become a comic-book artist, but, during the studies, he decided to dedicate himself to cinema. When he was 15, he began filming short movies, as a director, editor and actor.  In 2010 he created the king UNIT, a filmmakers team. His first important short film was "Like God" (2012), winner of the Best Short Film Award at The Reign of Horror Short Movie Awards 2013, followed by "The House of the Rising Sun" (2014), winner of the Silver Award at California Film Awards 2014. After several years, king UNIT is working on a new short film named "The Jäger Within" which is set hit various movie festivals during 2019.  During these years, he also started working as a model, mainly collaborating with the make-up artist Francesco Sanseverino, the photographer Davide Cancila and he lately joined the ImaCrew agency.  Ivan King is a musician too. In April 2014 he created a music project named Vita Museum which released its first record "Frozen Limbo Zero" in October 2015. In September 2014, Ivan King joined The Silverblack as bass player and video director. The Silverblack is an industrial metal band created by NeroArgento and Claudio Ravinale.  He's a solo artist too: he released some singles between 2012 and 2017 and he also wrote and directed the videoclips of his songs "Bloodshot" (2012), "Divine" (2014) and "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" (2017); this one is a cover of the main theme song of the worldwide famous videogame Resident Evil 7. The music video almost reached 500.000 views on YouTube. At the moment, he's working on a new solo industrial EP and he's planning to release three new music videos, all connencted by the same storyline.  In late 2017 and 2018, Ivan King was one of the main artist performing at the One More Light Italia, the Chester Bennington Italian memorial concert. The 2018 show featured former members of Orgy and Dead By Sunrise, Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh with their band Julien-K. Ivan had the honor to perform one of his favourite songs ever with them,"Morning After" by Dead By Sunrise .  Besides his careers in music and cinema, his most known effort is mask making. He started to craft a series of handmade resin masks that has quickly become notorious online.  Today Ivan King is living in Italy and he's playing with his music projects, creating movies, modeling and working on other artistic projects.

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.
