A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Valeria De Felice is an Italian production designer based in New York City. The influence of her homeland's artistic treasures and NYC's cultural wealth have deeply formed her and enriched her vision. While studying set design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome and Dresden, Valeria designed some successful music videos (four times Best Italian Independent Music Video at PIVI and PVI) as well as art-directed her first feature film, Un Giorno Della Vita starring Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Alessandro Haber. Upon coming to New York, she expanded her professional prospects, designing various projects and working alongside acclaimed professionals such as Dante Spinotti, David Simon, Woody Harrelson, Laura Linney and Reinaldo Marcus Green. As a production designer, De Felice's credits include the feature film 'Night Comes On' winner of Best Innovator Award at Sundance '18, winner of the Jury Award at Deauville FF; 'Selah and the Spades' selected at Sundance '19, 'The 40-Year-Old Version' winner of 'Best Directing' in the US Dramatic Competition at Sundance '20, 'I Carry You with Me' winner of 'Best of Next' and 'Best Innovator Award' and at Sundance '20. More recently, she designed 'Suncoast', which was selected at Sundance '24, and 'Babes', which was selected at SXSW '24. For HBO she designed the first season of That Damn Michael Che and the limited series We Own This City. As an art director her credits include the feature films: 'Tim Maia' winner for Best Art Direction at ABC Trophy and nominated for Best Art Direction at Cinema Brazil Grand Prize, 'Diane' awarded Best Feature Film at Tribeca FF '18, 'Abe' selected at Sundance FF '19, 'The Evening Hour' in the US Dramatic Competition at Sundance FF '20 and the award-winning feature 'Saturday Church' that premiered at Tribeca FF '17. Valeria's passion for visual arts and literature is found in production design, its best way of expression. She travels, paints, or bakes sourdough bread and panettone when she is not working. Valeria is a member of IATSE Local 829. Information above via their homepage.

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.
