Alex Vargas is a filmmaker currently based in Santa Cruz, California. Alex works as a full-time leader for one of the big student film organizations on the UCSC campus, the Film Production Coalition (as Outreach Coordinator/Webmaster). Alex sometimes gets ideas for his films from his life stories, including living as a gay filmmaker and growing up in a relatively conservative small town in the Central Valley, California. Alex has won awards at the Student Cable Television Film Festival for his work as a Head Writer for "Moonlight " and Best Film by producing "Felix Knight: All-Star Attorney," "Sacrilege," and "Cupid Shoots Blind." He is currently a full-time student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is set to graduate in late 2025. Alex enjoyed his writing classes in High School and has been hooked ever since on creative writing endeavors. He dreams of directing features for a living and possibly working with some of his favorite actors, including Ethan Hawke, Tilda Swinton, Zendaya, and Julianne Moore.

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.
