Yeah, this one is a little unexpected.
I'm a yank so not up on Aussie and NZ movie producers, other than the obvious even here in the US, George Miller. What other successful movie producers should I know, the Aussie and NZ Steven Spielbergs and such, especially for action or car related storylines? Are there any up and comers that are generating a lot of buzz? Thanks, Steve

It's "Baz Luhrmann". I'm a resourceful sort.
Wait a minute, all his business addresses are in the USA. Could you have him confused with someone else? Ok, I found he was born in Australia, but I am looking for Producers that are based in Australia. Steve

Try searching for Popular Australian Movies then tracking through to the director.
Should be able to get a few that way.

ALBY MANGLES!!
But he's old news now. Although he could, roll some cars, sink a few boats, fly some planes, crash helicopters and detonate explosives doing all this with an old flame from Adelaide under his arm.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've been to the Aussie AFC and I'm doing research there but I figured the most impressive ones would be known by most movie goers. Just looking for a jumpstart.
Steve

Peter Jackson is a Kiwi.
Edit: Check out "Bad Taste" and "Braindead" (may be known as 'Dead Alive' in the US) for some of his early horror/parody work.
