A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Uruguay
Born in Uruguay and raised in Colorado, Federico D'Alessandro initially aspired to be a Marvel comic book artist before discovering filmmaking as the perfect outlet for his passion for storytelling. After attending the School of Visual Arts and graduating from Loyola Marymount University's screenwriting programme, he cut his teeth storyboarding everything from indie projects to major blockbusters like I Am Legends and The Chronicles of Narnia. In 2009, he was offered a permanent position at Marvel Studios as their Lead Storyboard Artist and Animatics Supervisor, where he played a key creative role in their unprecedented run of mega hits: Thor, Captain America, Avengers, Iron Man 3 Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Loki, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the upcoming Thunderbolts. In 2015, D'Alessandro was hired to direct TAU, a Netflix original sci-fi thriller produced by David S. Goyer and staring Gary Oldman, Maika Monroe, and Ed Skrein. It was released in June of 2018, where it became the #1 movie on the platform worldwide.

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.
