A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Roopesh Parekh is a British film and television producer. A member of prestigious industry bodies—including BAFTA, the Directors Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the Production Guild of Great Britain—Paul Hook of CAA represents him. Early in his career, he held production roles on series such as Red Dwarf and Da Vinci’s Demons, serving as Production Executive and Unit Production Manager, respectively. He later worked as a Line Producer on projects including Truth or Dare, The Hollow Crown, and Inside No. 9. His producing expertise then led him to major roles in acclaimed dramas like Poldark, Ordeal by Innocence, and The Long Song. International recognition followed with his work as Producer on the HBO/BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials (2019) and later as Executive Producer on Disney+’s Willow (2022–) and the behind-the-scenes special Willow: Behind the Magic (2023). Parekh had joined Marvel Studios as a producer on the upcoming Disney+ series Vision Quest, set for release in 2026. In a 2022 episode of the podcast Meet the Producer, Parekh discussed how he became passionate about producing, shared insights into his early career working in Wales on series like Poldark and His Dark Materials, and emphasized his commitment to increasing diversity both on-screen and behind the camera.

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.
