Writer-director Patty Jenkins has hit the ground running with her first feature, the widely acclaimed, Monster, a riveting and dark love story detailing serial killer Aileen Wuornos' tragic descent into obsession and murder. Jenkins, who initially studied painting at the Cooper Union in New York City, fell in love with movies while attending an experimental film course between painting classes. After graduation, she went to Los Angeles and soon earned a union card as a first assistant camera operator.
