A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Hugo De Sousa is an actor and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. He studied under the guidance of Carol Rosenfeld in one of the most prestigious acting studios in the country, HB Studio, home to the late legendary teacher, Uta Hagen. He has since been working exclusively in the independent world, landing breakout leading roles in films such as We Used to Know Each Other (2019), Mister Limbo (2021) and Everything in The End (2021). As a filmmaker, Hugo’s most recent work include The Event (Slamdance, Palm Springs Shortest, Fantastic Fest 2022), which debuted online as a Vimeo Staff Pick and was named a “Top 12 Film of 2023” on NoBudge; Good Condition (Fantasia, Aspen Shortest, Oak Cliff, Cucalorus 2023); and the absurdist short Je Ne Suis Pas Une Star De Cinéma (Slamdance 24’).

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.
