A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alice Brooks, ASC is a cinematographer who has photographed award-winning feature films, television shows and commercials. Her recent feature projects include director Jon M. Chu's two-part adaptation of the hit musical "Wicked." She also shot "tick tick...BOOM!" for Netflix and Imagine Entertainment, directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and produced by Ron Howard. Her other recent work includes the adaptation of Miranda's musical "In The Heights" for Warner Bros., which was also directed by Chu. The film's cinematography received widespread critical acclaim. Brooks also lensed "Home Before Dark" (pilot and season one) for Apple TV+, Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, produced by Dana Fox, Dara Resnik and Joy Gorman.

She is known for her dramatic lighting and powerful camera movement, as demonstrated in Paramount's "The LXD" (directed by Chu) and "Tainted Love" (directed by Avi Youabian).

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.
