Scott Hicks
- Born: 4 Mar, 1953
This Australian filmmaker came to international attention with "Shine" (1996), his acclaimed feature about musical prodigy David Helfgott. With a resume that included a handful of TV-movies, a coming-of-age feature, a children's film and several TV documentaries, few might have thought he could craft such a mature, powerful study of a musician driven by his overbearing father and personal demons to the brink of madness and redeemed, in part, by love.
