Biography from TheMovieDB

Alessia Fionda was born and raised in Michigan, growing up north of Detroit. Both of her parents are Italian. Her father, Tony Fionda, emerged into the acting world while supporting Alessia at auditions. The two have been in productions together, such as the short film Glass Holiday.  Alessia's interest in acting stems from her participation in theatre in her early teens as well as from her desire to perform at an even younger age. After high school, she began starring in short films while attending Oakland University, such as the period drama "Claire de Lune". Through her studies, she also took an interest in writing her own work. Alessia earned a Bachelor's degree from Oakland University majoring in Communications and minoring in Theatre. After graduating, Alessia won first prize at the 2021 Art Speaks Play Festival in Midland, Michigan for best 10-minute play with her original, "Give Us A Smile". Due to her love of film, she was inspired to turn it into a screenplay. She then made her directorial debut with her adapted screenplay, "Give Us A Smile", which Alessia also starred in.  Alessia continues to act alongside her new found passion for writing and directing.

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.
