Jane Spencer
Jane Spencer’s filmmaking career began at UT Austin and UT Dallas, where she received her BA in theater and philosophy.
Parallel to university, she was accepted into the Actors Studio Playwright/ Directors Unit, in NYC under the directors Elia Kazan and Arthur Penn.
From there she studied at NYU where she worked on her first film LITTLE NOISES with William Hickey and Keith Gordon, alongside Crispin Glover, Rik Mayall, and Tatum O’Neal. The film eventually premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was shown at the Goteborg Film Festival in Sweden and the Wine Valley Festival in California, as well as theatrically distributed throughout the US.
After that, she worked in theater and wrote several plays and screenplays in NYC, Los Angeles, and London.
In 1998 she set up her project with actors from the Los Angeles theater scene and shot FACES ON MARS, which premiered at the Solothurn Film Festival in Switzerland with her Swiss partner and formed a film company in Zurich, Switzerland — Ward9 Productions.
Her second feature film THE NINTH CLOUD premiered at the 2014 Raindance Film Festival and screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival, La Femme Film Festival, and Glasgow Film Festival to very good reviews.
She then started working on SOUTH OF HOPE STREET; the film was shot in Switzerland with a large, accomplished ensemble cast and editor Patricia Rommel.
