Biography from TheMovieDB

Giles Perkins is a writer and director based in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Baltimore, MD, Giles is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a B.F.A. in Film & Television Production. His two most recent films, Expiration Date (documentary) and Apollo (narrative), explore niche interpersonal conflict emanating from misguided American ideals.  Expiration Date screened at St. Louis International Film Festival, Norwich Film Festival, New Hampshire Film Festival, and Lunenburg Doc Fest this fall. The film will play at the Atlanta Film Festival, Dallas International Film Festival, and the American Documentary and Animation Film Festival this spring. Apollo had its world premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival where it was nominated for best short film. The project also earned Giles a finalist position for the 2024 Sundance Ignite Fellowship and a shortlist nomination for the Young Director Awards.  Giles has directed music videos for artists such as Gryffin, Elley Duhé, and Isabel LaRosa, among many others across various labels including Interscope, RCA, Gamma, and The Darkroom. In 2023, Giles directed short documentaries on Brooklyn-based fashion designer KidSuper and each of his Paris Fashion Week shows, including the AW23 season he designed for Louis Vuitton.  Giles is in pre-production for his next short. He is also in the development stage for his debut feature film.

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.

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.
