Patty’s feature debut was the thriller drama “Monster” in 2003, which she also wrote; the film is based on the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who murdered seven men in Florida in one year. The film earned her praise and several awards, including the Independent Spirit Award in the category Best First Feature. The film put her on the scene, and she became a highly sought-after director, but after a few projects that fell apart, Patty became more focused on television.

Thanks to this success, Patty was chosen as the director of the second part, which will be released in 2019.

Most recently, she started working on the TV mini-series “One Day She’ll Darken”, written by her husband Sam Sheridan.

Patricia Lea Jenkins Quotes

• [on Kodak’s new Super 8 camera] People like to think that digital mediums can do anything film can do, nowadays, but that simply isn’t true. Digital is great for certain things, but it is still different. There are plenty of looks, feelings and qualities that only film can do, and you simply cannot capture digitally. [2016]
• I really understand visuals in a way that I didn’t before, which is by no means to say I’m a master at all. It’s only to say that by getting to try out a bunch of different styles, and different lenses, my understanding has become more fluid.
• [re work of directors Kazan, Kubrick, Scorsese] Those guys are great at the tension of the unknown. You don’t know where the story is going, and you’re not made to feel comfortable or safe.
• I was into photography and music probably more than anything. I still think probably music is my real love. I think that it’s listening to music that made me want to be a filmmaker. When I was in film school, the second I sat down at a Steenbeck with film that I had just shot and put in music to it, that was it. Instantaneously, I couldn’t get enough of it, and it had nothing to do with career or want or desire. I liked to sit there and do that twenty-four hours a day. I was like, ‘I can’t stop doing this. This is it.’
