1 Transcending the Elements Australian Film Institute (interviewer), 2011 single work interview 'Director Daniel Nettheim has come out of nowhere to direct The Hunter, an ambitious wilderness-set project boasting performances by actors of the calibre and stature of Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill and Frances O'Connor. But Nettheim has been honing his craft for years. After starting out as a photographer, he attended AFTRS, graduating in 1995. That same year his short film The Beat Manifesto won three AFI Awards - including two for Nettheim, for Best Short Film and Best Screenplay in a Short Film. He's been steadily employed ever since as a director of commercials, multimedia and a raft of terrific television - including Spirited, Rush, All Saints, The Elephant Princess and The Secret Life of Us.'
