body / negative is the solo project of composer Andy Schiaffino. They create field recording-based ambient works often recorded in lo-fi capacities, described best as “unfinished, perfectly imperfect” pieces. Schiaffino's second full length album, "Everett," mastered by Slowdive's Simon Scott and co-produced in part by Madeline Johnston of Midwife, was released December 8, 2023 on Track Number Records. In addition to their two self-recorded albums and debut EP, Schiaffino has scored two independent short films directed by Jordan Pfeifer: Noxious (2021) and Ingestion (2024). Tracks from Schiaffino's 2020 album "Fragments" have been featured on HBO's Search Party, NBC's Good Girls, and a Vice Essentials webseries.
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
