OccupationCinematographer, director

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]


Awards


Broken Highway—McInnes' breakthrough film—was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1993, but it lost to Jane Campion's The Piano.[1][3] It was nominated for five AFI awards that year. Her earlier short, Palisade, won the top prize at Cannes in 1987.[4]
