Maxine Eloi

Maxine Eloi is a classically trained actor with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Boston University. She grew up moving from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest and back. Both her parents originate from the beautiful island of Haiti, and Maxine is a first-generation American.  Maxine has always been a hard worker and a dreamer. Part of pursuing her dreams has been and is through rigorous pursuit of education. By means of her undergraduate program at Boston University, she also had the opportunity to study at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts. Since graduating, she has been working in film, television and theatre. Her recent credits include Lady Anne in Richard III, Rina in “Sunday Fun Day” and Eve Scott in “Aghast”. She recently was a guest on the popular NPR show, The State of Things, hosted by Frank Stasio. Maxine is also a passionate filmmaker, directing and producing projects as a partner at MiRu Productions—a film and media company. When she is not creating films or acting, she spends her time hula hoop performing, painting and serving on the board of the Women’s Theatre Festival of North Carolina.

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.
