A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Birthplace:
Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, UK
Alex Box is a British make-up artist. After growing up in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, Box moved to London to study BA Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art. For her degree show she exhibited an installation exploring the relationship between the body, environment and desire. In addition to site specific installations, Box has also exhibited in galleries across the world. Renowned for her experimental and often surreal beauty looks, Box's work continues to chart the correlation between art, science, nature and the magical. Her editorial work has featured in a variety of publications, such as Vogue, Stylist, Numéro, W, Another Magazine, Dazed & Confused and i-D. Box's celebrity clients have included Lady Gaga, Azealia Banks, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Courtney Love. Working as a make-up director for international fashion shows, Box has created the looks for catwalk collections by Gareth Pugh, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Chanel. As the creative director of Illamasqua, she is instrumental in shaping the brand's product development, imagery and creative vision.
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.
