Masterclass with two legends of Australian cinema

8 May 2024

I had the opportunity to direct a scene under the tutelage of PJ Hogan and Bob Humphreys as part of my culminating project at Griffith Film School. The exercise involved a “mystery” script from Proof (1991, written & directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse, starring Hugo Weaving, Geneviève Picot, Russell Crowe). The onus was on the Directors to analyse the screenplay, craft a narrative around it and direct their interpretation.

Genre: Australian noir

Director: D. Yiapanis
DP: A. Shukla
Editor: S. Cooper

My Interpretation — Director: D Yiapanis
