Mark Anthony "Baz" Luhrmann (born 17 September 1962) is an Australian filmmaker and actor with projects spanning film, television, opera, theatre, music and recording industries. He is regarded by some as a contemporary example of an auteur for his style and deep involvement in the writing, directing, design, and musical components of all his work. He is the most commercially successful Australian director, with four of his films in the top ten highest worldwide grossing Australian films of all time. On the screen he is best known for his "Red Curtain Trilogy", consisting of his romantic comedy film Strictly Ballroom (1992), and the romantic tragedies William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Moulin Rouge! (2001). Following the trilogy, projects included Australia (2008), The Great Gatsby (2013), Elvis (2022), and his television period drama The Get Down (2016) for Netflix. Additional projects include stage productions of Giacomo Puccini's La bohème for both the Australian Opera and Broadway and Strictly Ballroom the Musical (2014). Luhrmann is equally known for his Grammy-nominated soundtracks for Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby, as well as his record label House of Iona, a co-venture with RCA Records. Serving as producer on all of his musical soundtracks, he also holds writing credits on many of the individual tracks. His album Something for Everybody features music from many of his films and also includes his hit "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)".
In a world where technology has advanced to the point where people’s dreams can be recorded and sold as entertainment, Electric Dreams follows Milo Lang, a washed-up, former dream director whose work was once celebrated across the globe. Milo is now a shadow of his former self, living in the rundown "Old Paris" district, buried under debt, with his once-glorious dreams forgotten. Enter Luna Sky, a young and passionate dreamer with the ability to create the most vivid and emotionally charged dreams anyone has ever seen. She represents the new generation of dream artists, whose raw talent threatens the corporate-controlled dream industry. When Luna’s dreams start gaining massive attention, she becomes the target of the powerful DreamCorp, a mega-corporation that profits from the exploitation of dreamers. Milo, seeing her potential and reminded of his younger self, reluctantly agrees to mentor Luna as they craft a breathtaking, rebellious dream symphony meant to take down the dream monopolies once and for all.
