Hanging with bikers, vampires and surfing bank robbers, Kathryn Bigelow?has made a name for herself chasing after adrenaline. After mixed reviews and a bad box office break for her Soviet submarine flick?K-19: The Widowmaker, Bigelow developed one of writer Mark Boal?s articles into a television series for Fox called?The Inside, then chose to work with him to turn his experiences embedded in Baghdad-patrolling bomb squad into?The Hurt Locker.
The film ? which she never took to studios, opting instead for independent financing and freedom ? was a marvel, earning a massive amount of critical love and earning both the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director for Bigelow.
She?s a fierce talent who has weathered a decades-long career to emerge as an important modern storyteller who takes on difficult, true-life events and spins them into profound works.
