Miranda Harcourt

A beacon of New Zealand's cinema, Miranda Harcourt was born in 1962 in Wellington, New Zealand. During her active years since 1988, she has mainly worked in drama and has directed several acclaimed films including "The Changeover", "Out of the Blue", and "For Good", her unique narrative style resonating with audiences both domestically and internationally. Despite being a respected figure in the industry, her films, although having garnered several nominations, have yet to receive major international festival awards.

Harcourt's work is characterized by a keen eye for authentic storytelling, and she has a unique ability to draw out deeply human performances from her actors. From the heart, Miranda Harcourt is not just an extraordinary filmmaker, but an emblem of resilience and creativity in the face of a male-dominated industry, her voice echoing through the silver screen even louder with each passing year.
