    Feb 2 2025
    Written and directed by Spencer, and produced by Ward 9 Productions and Carm One Productions, South of Hope Street is a dystopian sci fi Impact film that tells of a mysterious event in the sky. Only a young woman and her alienated friends try to call attention to it - but they are voiceless misfits. As the sky gets stranger above, it becomes more fascist below, until, suddenly, the powers-that-be build a “wall” to cover the mystery of the sky…
    South of Hope Street is being distributed by Buffalo 8.
    Jane's other films include The Ninth Cloud and Little Noises.
