She then enrolled in the Australian Film, Television, and Radio School (AFTRS). It was while studying here where she completed her first short film entitled Pavane in 1983. Moorhouse then graduated from AFTRS in 1984 and started work as television script editor. Some of the television shows she worked on included ''The Flying Doctors'', ''Out of the Blue'', ''A Place to Call Home'', and ''The Humpty Dumpty Man''. Moorhouse made her feature film debut in 1991 with ''Proof''. The idea for the film came from Moorhouse’s interest in blindness and photography. She initially intended on this being a short film but since she wasn’t able to secure the funding for a short she decided to make it into a feature film instead.〔 It took Proof five years to go into production, but when it did it had a budget of 1.1 million dollars. The film ended up taking six weeks to shoot in Melbourne during the winter of 1990. The success of ''Proof'' allowed Moorhouse to get bigger and better opportunities. She followed up that film with her first "Hollywood blockbuster" with ''How to Make an American Quilt''(1995). The film had a talented cast which featured Anne Bancroft, Winona Ryder, Kate Nelligan, Dermot Mulroney, and Alfre Woodard. The film was met with mixed reviews.〔 Her next feature film was ''A Thousand Acres''(1997). It was an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Jane Smiley. The film is about the relationship between a father and three daughters when tragedy is introduced into their lives. The film starred Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jason Robards. This film, just like ''How to Make an American Quilt'', was met with mixed reviews.〔 Moorhouse is married to director P.J. Hogan. She was the screenwriter for one of his films entitled ''Unconditional Love''(2001) This was her second project with her husband as they both collaborated on ''Muriel's Wedding''.〔 Moorhouse's most recent project is ''The Dressmaker''(2015). The film stars Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, and Hugo Weaving. The film is based on the novel by Rosalie Ham and is about a dressmaker who returns to her home in Australia to take care of her ailing, mentally unstable mother. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jocelyn Moorhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
