Panic Room established her early screen career; playing Bella Swan across the Twilight films brought international recognition. Her work includes Adventureland, The Runaways, On the Road, Camp X-Ray, Still Alice and Clouds of Sils Maria. The latter brought a César and critics’ honors. She continued with Personal Shopper, Certain Women, Underwater and Crimes of the Future; Spencer earned an Oscar nomination. Her directing spans Come Swim, Boygenius: The Film and the memoir adaptation The Chronology of Water, which she also wrote and produced. She narrated and helped produce Living for the Dead, and co-founded Nevermind Pictures with Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean. Her later acting includes Love Lies Bleeding, Love Me, The Wrong Girls and the Cannes-screened Full Phil; her producing extends to Barbara Forever. She has also discussed plans for the Highland theatre as a community cinema space.
