Jane Clark

In this profile series, Revry is highlighting authentic contributors to the LGBTQ media and entertainment community. We ask questions to find out who they are and where they are going in the future. The questions remain the same but the answers tell their unique story. It’s time to explore and celebrate true representation beyond the limits of Hollywood. 

Today, we’ll be speaking with accaliamed director Jane Clark. Jane’s body of work includes three features, eight shorts including a VR short, and a web-series and she has earned numerous awards and nominations on the festival circuit by envisioning complex characters in visceral circumstances. Before moving behind the camera, Jane had leading roles in a number of indie features and worked on TV, most notably in a recurring role on ‘Chicago Hope’.

With an incredible roster of varying projects, her directing work has been coined as “Oscar-nomination worthy,” “hypnotizing,” “hauntingly graphic,” “intriguing, provocative and harsh,” “compassionate,” “intelligent,” “well-conceived,” “A-plus,” “well-crafted,” and “infused with a welcome level of depth.” 

What are you best known for?

 A horror/comedy series called ‘Crazy Bitches’ and a based-on-true-stories drama called ‘Meth Head’.

What is the first thing you directed?

The first thing I directed was a short film called ‘Dog Gone’. It was based on a true story about my little dog being stolen from my yard and the crazy things my husband and I did to get him back.

What are you working on that no one knows about yet?

I have two projects: A dark comedy called ‘Don’t Come Over’, which I co-wrote with Guinevere Turner (American Psycho, Charlie Says). It tells the story of a romance novelist with paranoid personality disorder whose girlfriend falls and dies during a passionate fight. She buries her in the backyard to escape blame, but an event triggers a break in her sanity and her life unravels over 24 hours of increasingly destructive choices.

And a psychological drama, ‘Beneath The Surface’ (written by actor Paul Fox). It’s about a man who goes to his family summer house with his boyfriend to scatter the ashes of his deceased father on a lake where he watched helplessly as his 13 year old brother drowned. His boyfriend is called away on an emergency, and while alone and confronting his memories, he contracts a deadly pathogen, similar to Mad Cow Disease, that causes his feelings of guilt to manifest in dangerous hallucinations that threaten his life.
