Baz Luhrmann
Directing
Bazmark Anthony "Baz" Luhrmann AC (born Mark Anthony Luhrmann; 17 September 1962) is an Australian film director, producer, writer and actor whose various projects extend from film and television into opera, theatre, music and the recording industries. Some regard him as a contemporary example of an auteur for his style and deep involvement in the writing, directing, design and musical components of all his work. He is the most commercially successful Australian director, and four of his films rank among the top ten highest-grossing Australian films of all time. On the screen, he is best known for his Red Curtain Trilogy, comprising the romantic comedy film Strictly Ballroom (1992) and the romantic tragedies William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Moulin Rouge! (2001). Following the trilogy, projects included Australia (2008), The Great Gatsby (2013), Elvis (2022), and the Netflix television period drama The Get Down (2016). Additional projects include stage productions of Giacomo Puccini's La bohème for both Opera Australia and Broadway, and Strictly Ballroom the Musical (2014). In September 2025, his first documentary, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Luhrmann is known for his Grammy Award-nominated soundtracks for Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby, as well as for his record label, House of Iona, a co-venture with RCA Records. Serving as producer on all his musical soundtracks, he also holds writing credits on many of the individual tracks. His album Something for Everybody features music from many of his films. Also, it includes his hit "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)". Description above from the Wikipedia article Baz Luhrmann, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
