I'll do this. Okay. Hi.
Okay.
Behind every superhero movie is a superhuman director.
Someone who has to manage the needs and wants of hundreds of crew members, cast members,
executives, and of course the comic book fans.
This person must be thick-skinned,
authoritative, and decisive.
But one thing this superhero does not need to be is a man.
In 2000, she received her master's in directing from the American Film Institute, and after graduating,
she began working on her very first feature, Munster.
This project was so important to her that she would find herself putting all of her money into
finding her project.
Patty has never let the obstacles deter her.
She has been unlimited in her beliefs and paved her own way in this industry.
To this day, not only she's still paving her own way,
but she's opening doors for women and little girls around the world to do so as well.
When I first met with Patty Jenkins, I knew she was the perfect person to direct Wonder Woman.
She knew exactly what the film should be and was determined to make it special,
unique, and inspiring.
Patty represents
everything that is good in Hollywood, and
she represents the very best that Hollywood has to offer and has inspired a whole generation of
female directors to dream big.
But that's not all she had done.
In her downtime, I'm sorry, I'm excited like I'm the one who's getting the award, but I'm like her mother. I'm like, Patty!
In her downtime, she has worked with anti-racitivism,
however you say it, coalition.
I told her, couldn't you pick something that is easier and not as mouthful?
And after working on the film Monster, Patty became impassioned about the rights of
incarcerated young men and women, and since has become an advocate for fairer criminal justice
policies through her work with ARC. Let's take a look at a video on that organization.
