Anthony Maras

Aus­tralian film­mak­er Antho­ny Maras made his fea­ture debut with Hotel Mum­bai, star­ring Dev Patel, which pre­miered to inter­na­tion­al acclaim. He pre­vi­ous­ly direct­ed numer­ous award-win­ning short films. Through­out his body of work, he has grav­i­tat­ed toward sto­ries root­ed in real-world pres­sure points, from con­tem­po­rary con­flict zones to moments of his­tor­i­cal cri­sis. His films are dis­tin­guished by their high ten­sion and the inter­play between spec­ta­cle and inti­mate, char­ac­ter-dri­ven storytelling.
