She directed I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER in 1993 which she described as the story of "a 19-year-old girl who has a series of run-ins with various condescending men." Jacobson's slap-in-the-face feminist interpretation of "sexy"/violent B movies found a cult following. Jacobson went on to make her feature Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore a few years later. Too in your face to be an after-school special, Mary Jane is a movie about sex from a girl's point of view. After a gross and unceremonious "first time" Jane learns about the joys of pleasing herself and asking for what she wants from her punky co-workers at a Midwestern movie theater (with Jello Biafra and Davey Havok cameos). Mary Jane debuted at the Chicago Underground Film Festival in 1997, and sold out at Sundance and SXSW; Jacobson promoted the film the year previous at the Independent Film Market with homemade "Not a Virgin" stickers her and her mom made at Kinko's. Spectacle's program will also include an early autobiographical short called Road Movie (or What I Learned in a Buick Station Wagon) (1991) which is the story of a college filmmaker who leaves Minneapolis for NYC after her professors and classmates make fun of
