A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Alex Juhasz
Birthplace:
Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA
Alexander Juhasz grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and was inspired by his father to become an illustrator. He completed a BFA in Illustration at the School of visual Arts in New York in 2005. He moved to Southern California in 2007 to pursue his career in animation working with director Jamie Caliri. Over the years Jamie and Alex developed a very unique aesthetic and created many successful and award winning projects together such as: United Airlines commercials, Heart and Dragon, The Shins: Rifle’s Spiral music video and the United States of Tara main title sequence. Most recently, they undertook a very ambitious stop-motion project working on the feature film The Little Prince from director Mark Osborne, that will be released in 2015. Alex spent over a year in Montreal, Canada, designing and creating incredible stop-motion puppets for the film and many other elements. In 2012 Alex was invited to join The Babadook crew in Australia to create a Pop-up Book for the film. As of today, The Babadook has been critically acclaimed as the “Best Horror Film of 2014” and has won multiple awards internationally. Thanks to the interest of fans, the Pop-up book has been published and released in 2016 as a collectible item.
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.
