Pedro Henrique Chaves is a writer and director from Brasilia, Brazil, with a degree in Audiovisual from the University of Brasília (UnB). His relationship with cinema began at an early age through acting and voice work, but it was in directing that he discovered his passion for storytelling. His work values collaboration as a creative tool, a process of exchange that gives rise to sensitive, character-driven narratives. His first short film, FOGUETE (Rocket), premiered at the New York Latino Film Festival (NYLFF), presented by HBO, and was screened at festivals such as NewFilmmakers LA, in partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and FACIUNI, where it won Best Film. After being selected for the Thailand Short Film Competition, he directed a documentary in Thailand. Pedro has worked as an assistant director on the global campaign for the CHANEL Next Prize. He has collaborated with leading Brazilian filmmakers such as Laís Bodanzky, José Eduardo Belmonte, René Sampaio, and Mauro Lima.

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.
