Alex Proyas (born September 23 1963) is an Australian film director, writer, and producer who directed The Crow, Dark City, and I, Robot.

Moved to Sydney, Australia at age 3.

Directed about 100 music videos.

Frequently uses circles with even or uneven spokes: the window that Eric Draven is thrown through at the beginning of Crow, The (1994), the imprinting restraint and rat maze in Dark City (1998) (the circle looked like Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man) and VIKI's structure (from an overhead view) in I, Robot (2004).
