Matthew Silva, a filmmaker who started making videos on youtube at a young age. With a passion for storytelling through cinema, Matthew has turned his love for filmmaking into a thriving business that produces high-quality films, commercials, and music videos. Whether it's a simple social media video or a large-scale production, we put the same care, attention, and creativity to every project, making sure to deliver exactly what his clients envision. Matthew Silva is a multiple award-winning director, actor, producer, and editor, as well as the nephew of the former Queen of Puerto Rico, Myrta Silva, also known as "La Gorda de Oro." Matthew was born in Queens, New York, in 1999 but raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn the majority of his life. He is an American filmmaker who started his own production company called "Ryanium Films" [Pronounced "RAIN-IUM] at the age of 15. The day he founded his production company was July 11th, 2016. He also founded his other company "Silva Pictures" at the age of 21 in 2021. He has done quite a lot in a short time. Eventually, he began getting recognized for producing his biggest hits, such as Bronx Unit Undercover Files, I Got Now, & Intense Battles Reloaded, which have all premiered in numerous credible festivals such as Warner Media (founded by Warner Bros.) and a few others internationally.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
