Interview with Director Spencer Jamison, of “At Capacity”

Posted on by

Hello, Can you introduce yourself to our readers?
First, thank you for engaging with me and my work.

You’re welcome!

I am Spencer Jamison, a filmmaker born and raised in Richmond, VA. I am the writer, director, and lead of “At Capacity.” I started working professionally as an actor and singer in the theater and film/television as an undergraduate at James Madison University. At my core lives an inner child who found solace in Black sitcoms from the 90s, movie musicals, political action thrillers, and classic romantic comedies. My biggest hope is that the work I create inspires the same kind of wonder and encouragement I received from watching my favorite films, plays, musicals, songs, and television series.

But I’m hopelessly optimistic, so who knows if that’s true?

Brian Yuzna’s 1989 horror satire is a gross, vile look at the amorality of the affluent.
