Biography
George Miller AO (born 3 March 1945) is an Australian filmmaker. Over the course of four decades he has received critical and popular success creating the Mad Max franchise, starting in 1979, with two of the films having been hailed as two of the greatest action films of all time. He has also earned numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award. Miller rose to prominence directing the dystopian action-adventure films Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2 (1981), and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). He then directed the dark fantasy comedy The Witches of Eastwick (1987) and the biographical medical drama Lorenzo's Oil (1992), which he also co-wrote, earning a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He produced and co-wrote the family film Babe (1995), earning an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay nomination, and later directed the sequel Babe: Pig in the City (1998). In 1995, he also produced the confronting cinema verité documentary Video Fool for Love, which dealt with film editor Robert Gibson's personal life as captured in hundreds of hours of camcorder footage. He won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for Happy Feet (2006) and directed its sequel, Happy Feet Two (2011). He returned to Mad Max, directing the critically acclaimed sequel Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), which went on to win six Academy Awards, with Miller receiving a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director. He then directed the prequel film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024). Trained in medicine at the University of New South Wales, Miller worked as a physician for several years before entering the film industry full-time. He is a co-founder of the production houses Kennedy Miller Mitchell, formerly known as Kennedy Miller, and Dr. D Studios. Since the death of his producing partner Byron Kennedy, his younger brother Bill Miller and Doug Mitchell have produced his later films.
