At Sundance 2021, Jenkins explained how to go from loser to big-budget filmmaker. Just be prepared to be lonely. Patty Jenkins is her own kind of Amazon woman. She first broke into the scene with Monster, and then broke barriers (and made history) as the first woman to direct a studio superhero movie with Wonder Woman.
