Her first play, ''Critical Mass'', (co-written with Jon Zeiderman) was staged at the Actors Studio in New York in 1988. A year later she followed up with ''Playground Sounds'' at Circle Rep. Her first feature film, ''Little Noises'', starring Crispin Glover, Rik Mayall and Tatum O'Neal was shown at the Sundance Festival in 1991.〔(Sundance Festival 1991 )〕 Marking out themes explored in her later films, it celebrates the quixotic lives of a group of friends striving for success and acceptance. Her second release ''Wake Up Running'' was based on her 1994 stage play ''Faces On Mars''. She is regarded as an 'auteur director', one of only a few currently working in the USA. and described as 'one of the real newsmakers and reporters of our time.'〔(Movie Maker interview, 2014 )〕 Her 2014 film, The Ninth Cloud starred Jean-Hugues Anglade and Michael Madsen. Continuing earlier themes, it centres on a vulnerable London woman who goes through life in an unfocused dream and falls in love with an American theatre director, whom she idolizes. In her search for answers to the meaning of life, she runs into a whole pack of London characters, from struggling artists to moneyed aristocrats. Spencer is also a poet. She has contributed to ''Mundus Artium'', a Dallas literary journal, and ''The Soho Arts Weekly'' and ''Poetry Literary Journal'', both published in New York. ==Filmography== * ''Hey Joey'' (short), 1987 * ''Little Noises'' (short), 1988 * ''Little Noises'', 1992. * ''Wake Up Running: A Story of Losers'', 2003 * ''Life of Bob'' (short), 2006 * ''The Ninth Cloud'' (short), 2007. * ''South of Hope Street'' (short), 2014. * ''The Ninth Cloud'' (2014) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jane Spencer (director)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
