He is the creator of the crime drama television series '' Scales of Justice'', '' Blue Murder'' and '' Wildside'', all of which deal with corruption in the New South Wales police force. He also directed the cult film '' The Heartbreak Kid'', and its spin-off series ''Heartbreak High''. Jenkins is one of the most highly regarded Australian directors of the 1990s, known for his distinctive, gritty style, particularly for his use of multiple hand-held cameras and semi-improvised dialogue.

The film ceased production after criticism from Premier Morris Iemma and Deputy Premier John Watkins.
