The independent film won her a number of awards, including the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and established her name as a director. She is the author of the 2003 book Woman Who... and director of the 2005 film The Ballad of Jack and Rose.
Miller's latest film is 2009's The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, which she adapted from her novel of the same name.
