Wendy Braga was born in Mérida, Yucatan. At 4 years old she studied ballet, and later dancing professionally for the National Company of Cuba in Mérida. At age 18, she opened a dance school where she teaches sporadically. In 1999, she began her career as a presenter of the television program "Efecto Joven" on Channel 13 in the city of Mérida. In 2002, she presented the program "Carnaval Superior Mérida 2002" of TV Azteca Mérida and in 2003 she hosted "Aquí en el 2". In 2003, she obtained a degree in Communication Sciences and, in 2005 the specialty in Film, Radio, Television and Journalism, both degrees awarded by the Universidad Anahuac. In 2009, she was chosen to be the face of Yucatán in the Bicentennial, as part of a campaign by TV Azteca to promote tourist attractions and natural in Mexico.
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.
