A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alyssa is a filmmaker from New York currently residing in Los Angeles. Her love of film and storytelling started in grade school and has now turned into a passion. As a cinematographer she has worked on a number of different projects including short films, web series, documentaries, commercials, and music videos. "Hanger's Limb", a historical drama she co-DP'd, was selected as a 2019 Student Academy Award Semi-Finalist. "What If?: Mickey Hargitay Plants", a short film she was the cinematographer for, screened at the 2018 Detroit SheTown Film Festival and the 2019 Method Fest Independent Film Festival. Previously, she was the director/cinematographer for "Behind the Cereal: The Lost Krispie", a web series pilot that was an official selection of the 2017 ITV Fest. She completed her MFA in film & television production at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. Alyssa has worked with many different cameras and on many different levels of production.

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.
