A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Juan Peralta's successful career as a sound re-recording mixer can be traced back to his fascination with Jurassic Park and its incredible range of sound effects. He knew right then that creating sound for films was his calling. After graduating Full Sail’s Recording Arts programme, he relocated to Los Angeles, interning and then signing on as a sound technician at post-production studio EFX. Following that, a recommendation from fellow Hall of Fame inductee Gary Rizzo helped Juan land a job at Skywalker Sound. In fact, his first role at Skywalker was as Gary Rydstrom's assistant—the sound designer and re-recording mixer for Jurassic Park. At Skywalker, Juan has earned credits as a mix-tech on more than 100 film, TV, and video game titles. He made the jump to becoming a recording mixer in 2008 and has mixed on over 30 films, including Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange, Thor: Ragnarok, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. In 2009, he won the Best Sound Editing Award from the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) for his work on WALL<0xCD><0xBD>E, and his work on Doctor Strange and The Grinch earned a coveted CAS nomination.

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.
