Spike Jonze

Born in 1969 in Maryland and involved from an early age in the skate community he documented as a photographer, journalist, and filmmaker. Jonze also headed a BMX club. Beginning with the early 1980s, he worked for several magazines he helped found. One of the leading music video and ad directors, he has received numerous Director’s Guild awards. Jonze, with Johnny Knoxville and Jeffem Tremaine, produced the famed Jackass series for MTV. Since 2007, he has been working on the MTV-funded internet television VBS.tv.
