A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Mónica Monserrate-Llenza
Birthplace:
Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Mónica Monserrate Llenza began her career in the early stages of her life. In summer 1993, she was attending the Fine Arts School of the University of Puerto Rico when she was awarded a scholarship to study cinematography at the prestigious Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV (EICTV) in San Antonio de los Baños, Havana, CUBA. There she lived, studied, and worked for three years. Mónica moved back to her homeland, Puerto Rico, in 1996 and started to work in film, ad, and TV, and continues to do so successfully to this date. Her strong love for film cinematography, fine arts, design, architecture, and set decoration has given her the opportunity to share projects with a wide variety of production designers in Puerto Rico as well as abroad in Mexico, Spain, the US, Asia, and the South Pacific. "To create an environment that inspires and becomes a storyteller on its own, that is my passion."

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.
