Heath V. Salazar (they/them) is an award-winning Latinx multidisciplinary performer and writer. Named a ‘prolific trans artist’ by CBC Arts in 2019, Heath has developed their career with a focus on projects that center intersectional forms of queer and trans representation across all disciplines. They utilize the arts to make potent social change because they recognize and value the arts’ ability to transcend language, borders, and class systems. Heath’s artistry and advocacy has given them the great privilege of shaking hands with some of the very elders who’ve fought for their rights as a queer person as well as the opportunity to work as a speaker and lecturer in classes full of young minds. One of their biggest honours to date has been their nomination for LGBTQ Person of the Year from the 2019 Inspire Awards. Over the course of the pandemic, Heath pivoted to virtual art forms and digital performance. They developed an affinity for video editing and created an array of music videos and shorts featuring original sound design, performance, and poetry. Their short Pink had its public debut at the 2021 Toronto Indie Night Short Film Festival.

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.
