Jon Frenkel Garcia is a writer and director that started his film career back in 2018, when he started studying Filmmaking at NYFA in New York. There he worked in multiple projects alternating different crew positions, among them, working as a Production Designer. Having written and directed over ten short-films ("Double Cream Coffee" and "Logastellus' ' amongst them), he decided to move to Los Angeles to finish his film studies and continue his Film career as a Director. During the COVID year, forced to move back home to Spain, didn't stop from being on set. For a timeframe of a year and a half, he worked in the Production Design team from the Spanish renowned tv show "Cardo". Moving once again to the city of Los Angeles and finishing up, he went up to directing a few music videos such as his homage to Queen's song "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon. After that, he resumed his two-year written idea to finally bring to light "The Reflection Of Francisca Newman". A dancing story, where he tries reflecting his most brutal honesty of what it feels to be an artist stuck in a creative block. A surreal journey that took Jon to the next step in his directing career, promoting his work publicly for the first time into multiple film festivals, including some such as Micheaux Film Festival and Burbank International 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.
