About

Hi, I’m Skinny Corleone Alfonso Gallmon, a DC-based independent filmmaker passionate about inspiring audiences through visual storytelling. I founded 49th Parallel Films, a production and post-editing company, and I also lead 49th Parallel Bookings & Mgmt, an agency that signs acting talent and places them in gigs across the Mid-Atlantic, East, and Southern markets. My journey began on a local film set where I played a minor drug dealer, which sparked my drive to write my own screenplay. I studied acting under veteran Hollywood actor Ralph Tabatin at the Maryland Academy of Dramatic Arts and later taught myself screenplay writing after reading Syd Fields’ How To Write a Script, spending two and a half years to complete Urban Survival.

After some early hiccups, I rekindled filmmaking in 2005 by directing my first music video for local Hip Hop artist Pop Da Czar. I later relaunched and expanded into 49th Parallel Films, building a portfolio as a producer and director and earning recognition with the DMV-EMA Best Video Producer Award for three consecutive years (2008–2010). I also previously founded 48th–49th Records, serving as CEO and President, releasing projects from 1998 to 2006. I’m honored to have won the DMV-EMA Best Video Producer Award for three consecutive years (2008–2010) for directing and producing several local music videos, and I remain actively seeking distributors to bring my work to broader audiences.
