It is possible to limiting QuerySet in this kind of way:
creators_list = ['jane', 'tarzan', 'chita']
my_model.objects.filter(creator=creators_list)
???

You mean like this?
my_model.objects.filter(creator__in=creator_list)
Docs:
EDIT
This is now a bit outdated. If you run into problems with the original code, try this:
from django.db.models import Q
my_filter_qs = Q()
for creator in creator_list:
my_filter_qs = my_filter_qs | Q(creator=creator)
my_model.objects.filter(my_filter_qs)
There's probably a better way to do it but I'm not able to test it at the moment.
Also if you're using sqlite and running into problems, there exists a limitation for the max number of items in the list.
def divideChunks(l, n):
for i in range(0, len(l), n):
yield l[i:i + n]
for slicerange in divideChunks(objs, 10):
myobjects = my_model.objects.filter(creator__in = slicerange)
...
