# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  George Miller trained as a physician at the University of New South Wales and practised medicine before he and producing partner Byron Kennedy launched the Mad Max trilogy between 1979 and 1985, building a franchise that would define kinetic filmmaking. Kennedy died in 1983; Miller moved to Hollywood and pivoted hard—The Witches of Eastwick in 1987, the family drama Lorenzo's Oil in 1992 (his first Oscar nomination), then producing and co-writing Babe in 1995 before directing its sequel three years later. He won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature with Happy Feet in 2006, made a second penguin film in 2011, then returned to the desert with Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015, which took six Oscars and is widely considered one of the greatest action films ever made. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga followed in 2024.
