Now, let\u2019s go kick some butt!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much the same can be gleaned from talking to <em>Wonder Woman 1984 <\/em>co-writer\/director Patty Jenkins. Before 2017\u2019s <em>Wonder Woman<\/em>, which broke box-office records worldwide, Jenkins was most known for her debut feature, <em>Monster<\/em>. Four years out of the American Film Institute, with some eight short films in her pocket, Jenkins wrote and directed the dark drama, which swept the film festival and awards circuit, and was rated by Roger Ebert as the best film of that year (2003) and number-three best film of the decade.<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins has also directed dozens of commercials and TV shows, including the pilot and final episode of AMC\u2019s <em>The Killing, <\/em>for which she won a DGA Award; Fox\u2019s <em>Arrested Development<\/em>; and the pilot episodes for ABC\u2019s <em>Betrayal<\/em> and <em>Exposed<\/em>. But before all that, Local 600 crews will recall her career as a Guild camera assistant and focus puller. Over eight years, on mostly music videos and commercials, Jenkins honed her filmmaking skills and unflappable work ethic. I spoke with the film industry\u2019s \u201creal Wonder Woman\u201d about how she thinks more women can get into the seat she\u2019s in, and how being a Union camera assistant was the foundation of her success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10629\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-24370r.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-24370r.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-24370r-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-24370r-554x400.jpg 554w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-24370r-969x700.jpg 969w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jenkins (on set with Director of Photography Matthew Jensen, ASC) says her years spent as a Local 600 Camera Assistant provided a\u00a0&#8220;tremendous benefit to where I am now.&#8221; \/ Photo by Clay Enos\/Warner Bros.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ICG Magazine: Going from camera assistant to director \u2013 AFI notwithstanding \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0<strong>is a big jump. How daunting was it? <\/strong>Patty Jenkins: It was all I\u2019d ever wanted to do. I had been a painter, and I crossed over into wanting to make films. But I never wanted to be a cinematographer \u2013 it just wasn\u2019t something that I ever considered doing, so it felt like I had no choice but to transition. I loved being a camera person, and I learned so much. But I got to a point where I knew that my ultimate goal was to make my films, and I was so busy as a camera person I was never getting any closer to that goal. Going from high-end commercials as an assistant to small short films as a director wasn\u2019t daunting \u2013 by the time I was making a feature, I\u2019d made about eight short films. Interestingly, when I made <em>Monster<\/em>, people kept commenting that they were surprised how I never seemed to get tired. I was so confused as to what they meant, and then I realized that shooting every day for 10 years was incredibly helpful for making the transition into directing. Working really hard, for a lot of hours a day, is not something you\u2019re unfamiliar with in the camera department. [Laughs]. Working in camera was a tremendous benefit to where I am now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were the barriers when you were making that transition?<\/strong>\u00a0There was every barrier you can imagine. I got really lucky that I happened to get into a situation where I wrote <em>Monster<\/em>. If that hadn\u2019t happened, if I didn\u2019t have that script and Charlize Theron didn\u2019t want to be in it, I don\u2019t know how I would have done it. Every other avenue I looked at \u2013\u00a0doing TV or getting an internship \u2013 was just not available. So, it was very fortunate that I just had the screenplay that people wanted to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were the barriers for you to then move into directing a franchise project like <em>Wonder Woman<\/em>?\u00a0 <\/strong>My pilots had gotten bigger and bigger, so I was used to working at a larger scale. And I\u2019d already been working in those very high-end commercials as a camera person. But there was still a transition. The most complex thing in making a major film \u2013 a superhero movie, which is almost always very effects-heavy \u2013 is that you have to be directing it every day, start to finish. From pre-production, you\u2019re already directing it, and all the way into post, you\u2019re still directing it. The biggest thing for me was learning how to plan special and visual effects shots. I needed to get a handle on knowing at what point I had to make that decision and how far in advance I had to plan things, because all of those shots start happening even before you\u2019re shooting. It becomes a very long and complex directing exercise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you see similar barriers in the industry now, compared to when you were making your first film? <\/strong>It\u2019s a radically different world, and that is exciting. And I hope that lasts. I will say that just like I got lucky getting to write <em>Monster<\/em>, I also got very lucky that [<em>Monster<\/em>] happened to be a sensational B-movie topic \u2013 that\u2019s one reason it got made. A woman\u2019s point-of-view story would\u2019ve been almost impossible to get made. But this happened to be about a serial killer and a lesbian, and you could cast two famous women to play something that would be marketable, straight to video at the very least. Why are there still such clear barriers to seeing women as directors? I don\u2019t know. You could be a producer, that\u2019s acceptable somehow, but not a director. People just don\u2019t associate the two things with each other for whatever reason. And, honestly, even after the success of <em>Monster<\/em>, nobody wanted to make the movies I wanted to make. They all wanted me to make <em>their<\/em> movies, which were all generated from the same stereotypical point of view that I didn\u2019t sync up with. When I had the script of something that I wanted to make, they weren\u2019t even interested in reading it! I felt a real mistrust in women\u2019s creative impulses, as if those were somehow foreign. But, thankfully, a lot of that thinking has changed \u2013 there\u2019s more accountability. People are now saying that we need not only different directors, but different points of view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have worked with many cinematographers \u2013 as both an assistant and a director on commercials \u2013 and most of them have been men. Do you think there\u2019s an imperative for female directors to hire female DP\u2019s? <\/strong>In theory, of course, because we want gender equity across the board in this industry. But I also feel it\u2019s a complicated conversation because you are always looking for the person who is the exact right fit for that project. And because I hire so many women anyway, I don\u2019t feel like I have to hire anybody in any given department. I happened to have linked up with [Director of Photography] Matt Jensen [ASC], and he and I have the type of working relationship that I love, and I love those results. So, in our case, we just happened to have a good thing going, but certainly, I have considered and loved other female DP\u2019s and think that that would be a great set to be on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10631\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10631\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10631\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-23151r-1050x700.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jenkins (above with Jensen lining up a scene shot on IMAX) says the most &#8220;complex aspect&#8221; \u00a0of of making a\u00a0superhero movie, &#8220;which is almost always very effects-heavy \u2013 is that you have to be directing it every day, start to finish.

But it exceeded those expectations, and that was a surreal and magical moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was <em>Wonder Woman 1984<\/em> always a given, or was that directly because the first one was so successful? <\/strong>Both.

And often there\u2019s that thing of women not getting asked to do the follow-up even when they made a successful movie in the first place; somebody else would come in and do the sequel.

In my case, I\u2019m very involved in every step of production, so it makes sense. Some directors aren\u2019t interested in being bothered with all those other, sometimes non-creative details, and I feel both ways are valid. I\u2019ve enjoyed not being a producer on things where you can just focus on what you\u2019re doing, but in the case of <em>Wonder Woman 1984,<\/em> I was doing the job anyway. So, it was important for me to get that credit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10632\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10632\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WDWMN2_FL_GG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WDWMN2_FL_GG.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WDWMN2_FL_GG-768x471.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WDWMN2_FL_GG-652x400.jpg 652w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WDWMN2_FL_GG-1141x700.jpg 1141w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jenkins says creating environments afterwards to match with on-set light and LED screens \u2013 &#8220;and make\u00a0them great-looking!&#8221; was a major challenge on <em>WW84<\/em>. &#8220;For other sequences, Matt and [VFX Supervisor] John Moffatt and I had to be in sync every\u00a0step of the way.

That was both an unbelievable challenge to\u00a0shoot and see through all the way to the end, as you have to match lighting of what is happening via\u00a0LED screens all around the actors, and then create the environments afterwards to match.\u00a0And make\u00a0them great-looking! For other sequences, Matt and [VFX Supervisor] John Moffatt and I had to be in sync every\u00a0step of the way. You all <em>have <\/em>to be on the same page to pull such things off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you use previsualization for the most complex VFX scenes?\u00a0<\/strong>We absolutely previsualize for almost everything complex, or have <em>very clear<\/em> story boards if not. That\u00a0doesn\u2019t mean that a lot doesn\u2019t happen on the day. Non CG and real in-camera effects change\u00a0things, and you have to work the other way around. But having a clear plan is your best bet for making things look great. It also allows VFX the most time to work on shots, because they can be doing a lot of the R&amp;D phase of building elements and methods even before you shoot\u00a0the scene or shot. Some people come into these movies wanting to wing it and <em>not<\/em> have previs, but I\u00a0 strongly suggest they reconsider that model, because on these films it\u2019s the other way around of what you\u00a0might think. Previs does not lock you in and hold you back from directing. It is your only shot to direct\u00a0beautifully and allow yourself the time to make things look great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are still very few women entrusted with blockbuster franchises. What\u2019s your best advice for women to break that glass ceiling and direct big-budget films? <\/strong>Well, having a rigorous technical background, as I did in camera, is a huge benefit. And I think that that\u2019s true for anybody, male or female, but I definitely think it made the difference in my career. This is such a technical art form, and I\u2019ve seen a lot of women directors be discounted because of the belief that they won\u2019t handle all the technology. It\u2019s absurd, but it\u2019s just there. The truth is, I worry just as much about male directors being given an [undeserved] shot; like writers directing a first project and it\u2019s a tentpole film. That baffles me, because it\u2019s such a technical job. You need to understand so much about filmmaking to maintain a level of control on set and create a smooth experience for everyone on these movies. My advice would be to tune-out the gender thing and throw yourself into being an absolutely proficient technical director, who understands as much as you can about how everything works. That\u2019s what I have seen in common with most of the directors who succeed in these kinds of movies. They\u2019ve had a long education and are comfortable with all of the different aspects of filmmaking. Be rigorous about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10633\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10633\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WW84-04455r-1049x700.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jenkins, who\u00a0has directed dozens of commercials and TV shows, including the \u00a0final episode of AMC\u2019s <em>The Killing<\/em>, for\u00a0which she won a DGA Award, says that while &#8220;there has been a\u00a0real mistrust in women\u2019s creative impulses, as if those were somehow foreign, thankfully, a lot of that thinking has changed, and there\u2019s more accountability.&#8221; \/ Photo by Clay Enos\/Warner Bros.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>by Valentina Valentini \/ Photos by Clay Enos\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I find it unlikely that Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, gets up every morning and tells her mirror: \u201cI\u2019m a woman and I\u2019m going to struggle because of it.\u201d The DC Comics superhero \u2013 created by psychologist-writer and proto-feminist William Moulton Marston \u2013 probably has a mantra closer to, \u201cI am strong, I am proficient, I am smart, and am excellent at what I do.
