Australian filmmaking royalty Jocelyn Moorhouse and PJ Hogan were riding high with the success of Proof and Muriel's Wedding. But 18 years would pass before Moorhouse directed another film as she dedicated her life to her two children with autism.

In many respects, Moorhouse and Hogan's life is highly unusual. They have to fit their home life around their work, which is sporadic but all-consuming and often requires travel.

They also have the additional challenges of raising two children with severe disabilities who require around-the-clock care, and the worry of what will happen to the children when they are no longer there to look after them."There are times when I was the one collapsing and just demanding that I get some time off. But I think we have a lot of compassion towards each other and we really love each other, so that helps.

But at the same time, they have somehow managed to create a bubble of normality around their children. Their home is a sprawling oasis of calm. DVDs are piled high and the walls and shelves are covered with memorabilia from the many films they have together.Their eldest son Spike, 29, himself an aspiring filmmaker, credits his parents for keeping the family cohesive and happy.
