life and work
After graduating from Swinburne University of Technology with a degree in arts specializing in film and television, she worked for the production company of Fred Schepisi , one of her university examiners, where she edited and produced commercials and documentaries. After she participated in the biopic The Ballad by Jimmie Blacksmith in 1978 , she edited a feature film for the first time in 1984 with Strikebound , a film drama by Australian director Richard Lowenstein .
She then cut films such as A Scream in the Dark , Strictly Ballroom - Those who dance against all the rules and IQ - Love is relative , for which she was nominated and awarded different prizes. Her editing of the Shakespeare film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet , for which a Hollywood critic said that "the film looked like it was cut for crack by a Russian serial killer," received more attention . But despite the bad criticism, she also received several nominations and awards for this film cut and a few years later celebrated her greatest career success with her work on Moulin Rouge with an Oscar nomination for Best Editing .
