Laurie McInnes

Laurie McInnes is an Australian writer, director, and cinematographer known for art films like Broken Highway and Dogwatch. Her work has been compared to Jim Jarmusch's.^[1]

McInnes has said that she grew up a lonely child who was bad at school, and she channeled those early feelings (the "ghosts" of her childhood) into her debut feature, Broken Highway.^[2]

Although her last effort as a director was with 1999's Dogwatch, she's continued to be active in the Australian film industry, working as a second-unit director and cinematographer for films like Look Both Ways and Night.^{[citation needed]}
