To say the output of film producer George Miller has been eclectic would be an understatment. From thrillers like "Dead Calm" he moved to romantic dramas like "Flirting", heartbreaking drama with "Lorenzo's Oil" to family entertainment with "Babe" and "Happy Feet" and not forgetting where it all began, with the full-on action fest of the "Mad Max" series. On today's Arena there's a profile of a film-maker who certainly isn't someone who rests on their laurels or devotes their energies to one particular genre. George Miller seems to live by the professional motto that variety is the spice of life.
