A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Caballito, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Alejo was born in Buenos Aires and began his filmmaking career in 2003. At first he started focusing on advertising productions with big format photography, collaborating with photographer Charlie Mainardi on car lighting and at the same time, joining the camera department in film as a video assistant for commercials and feature films. A self-taught cinematographer, Alejo expanded his expertise through experimentation and attended various cinematography courses, complemented by studies in painting and image aesthetics, which have significantly influenced his artistic vision. As the cinematographer and cameraman for Rodrigo Moreno's feature film "The Delinquents", he received the award for Best Cinematography at Premios Sur by Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences of Argentina 2024. More recently, Alejo filmed the mini-series directed by Mariano Cohn, starring Luis Brandoni and Robert De Niro for Disney+.

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.
