A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Marlon Rubio Smith is a Mexican-American director, cinematographer, and assistant camera. Born and raised in Mexico City, his experiences as an immigrant have influenced a lot of the themes in his work. Some of his most notable short films include A Piece of Me (2022), the award-winning I’m New (2023), Trompo (2024), and the upcoming ¿Cuando Perdí Mi Cabeza? (2025). With a Radio-Television-Film degree from the University of Texas at Austin, Marlon is also an editor, casting director, and occasionally a producer under his production company, MXR Films.

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.
