Spencer Jamison is a filmmaker born and raised in Richmond, VA. She is a graduate of James Madison University and the Yale School of Drama MFA Acting Program, where she took part in the development process of many new works as an actor, writer, and director. Her desire is to tell stories across genres about those who live in liminal spaces of identity—narratives that heal, evoke joy, and reflect the eclectic and generous folks who have shaped her life. Spencer starred in and produced “Slave Cry” with her brother Jai Jamison, which won the 2019 Commonwealth Award for Best Short Film at the Virginia Film Festival and screened at the 2020 Bushwick Film Festival as well as the 2021 Pan African Film Festival among others. Her directorial debut, DAY 74, won the 2020 Curbside Shorts Film Challenge Grand Prize sponsored by Women in Film LA, IMDbPro, and ReFrame Project. A member of both AEA and SAG-AFTRA, some of her acting credits include “Swagger” (Apple TV+); “If Pretty Hurts Ugly Must Be A Muhfucka,” “Some Bodies Travel,” “Passion,” and “The Winter’s Tale” (Yale Drama); “Suffs” (The Public Theater/Sundance Institute Workshop); “School Girls; or, the African Mean Girls Play” (MCC Theater); “Assassins” (Yale Repertory Theatre); “Dreamgirls” and “The Color Purple” (Virginia Repertory Theatre). Spencer was chosen for the inaugural class of the Broadway Advocacy Coalition Artivism Fellowship with her archival project about the first Black women judges in Virginia, “The Honorable.” She has worked as a freelance Writers’ Assistant for writer-directors developing projects at Outlier Society, Warner Brothers, Party Over Here, and CBS. “At Capacity,” her romantic comedy short, premiered at the OSCAR and BAFTA qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival and recently won the Audience Award at the Baltimore International Black Film Festival.
