Spiegel III was the founder of a healthcareconsulting firm.[3][6] Jonze's parents divorced when he was a young child and his father remarried.[3][4] Jonze was raised by his mother inBethesda, Maryland,[7] where she worked inpublic relations,[3] along with his brotherSam "Squeak E. Clean" Spiegel, who is now a producer and DJ,[8] and his sister Julia.[4] While studying atWalt Whitman High School, Jonze spent much of his time at a Bethesda community store, where owner Mike Henderson gave him the nickname "Spike Jonze" in reference to the satirical bandleaderSpike Jones.[3] While in high school, Jonze was close friends with future Jackass co-creatorJeff Tremaine. They became friends through their shared interest inBMX.[9]
A keen BMX rider, Jonze began working at the Rockville BMX store inRockville, Maryland, at the age of 16. A common destination for touring professional BMX teams, Jonze began photographing BMX demos at Rockville and formed a friendship withFreestylin' Magazine editors Mark Lewman and Andy Jenkins.[10] Impressed with Jonze's photography work, the pair offered him a job as a photographer for the magazine, and he subsequently moved to California to pursue career opportunities in photography.[10] Jonze frontedClub Homeboy, an international BMX club, alongside Lewman and Jenkins.[11] The three also created the youth culture magazinesHomeboy andDirt,[12] the latter of which was spun off from the female-centeredSassy and was aimed towards young boys.[13]
While shooting for various BMX publications in California, Jonze was introduced to a number of professional skateboarders who often shared ramps with BMX pros.[10] Jonze formed a close friendship withMark Gonzales, co-owner of the newly formedBlind Skateboards at the time, and began shooting photos with the young Blind team includingJason Lee,Guy Mariano and Rudy Johnson in the late 1980s.[10] Jonze became a regular contributor toTransworld Skateboarding and was subsequently given a job atWorld Industries bySteve Rocco, who enlisted him to photograph advertisements and shoot promotional videos for his brands under the World Industries umbrella.[14] Jonze filmed, edited and produced his firstskateboarding video,Rubbish Heap, for World Industries in 1989.[15] His following video project wasVideo Days, a promotional video for Blind Skateboards, which was released in 1991 and is considered to be highly influential in the community.[16] The video's subject, Gonzales, presented a copy ofVideo Days toKim Gordon during a chance encounter following aSonic Youth show in early 1992. Impressed with Jonze's videography skills, Gordon asked him to direct a music video featuring skateboarders. The video, co-directed by Jonze andTamra Davis, was for their 1992 single "100%", which featured skateboarding footage of Blind Skateboards rider Jason Lee, who later became a successful actor.[17] In 1993, Jonze co-directed the "trippy" music video forThe Breeders song "Cannonball" with Gordon.[18]
Along with Rick Howard andMike Carroll, Jonze co-founded the skateboard companyGirl Skateboards in 1993.[19] The following year, he directed the video for theWeezer song "Buddy Holly", which featured the band performing the song interspersed with clips from the sitcomHappy Days.[20] The video became immensely popular and was shown frequently onMTV.[21] A 2013Rolling Stone readers' poll ranked it as the tenth best music video of the 1990s.[22] Also in 1994, Jonze directed the videos for theBeastie Boys' songs "Sure Shot" and, more famously, "Sabotage".[23] The latter parodies 1970s cop shows and is presented as theopening credits for a fictional show calledSabotage, featuring the band members appearing as itsprotagonists.[22] As with "Buddy Holly", the video attracted great popularity and was in "near-constant rotation on MTV."[24] In the same year, Jonze also directed videos for the hip hop groupMarxman, The Breeders,Dinosaur Jr., and another Weezer song, "Undone – The Sweater Song".[25] Jonze made his film debut as an actor in abit part in the dramaMi Vida Loca (1994).[26] In 1995, he was attached to direct an adaptation ofHarold and the Purple Crayon.[27]
Jonze collaborated withBjörk for the video for her 1995 single "It's Oh So Quiet", a cover of a 1951Betty Hutton song. The video is set in anauto shop and sees Björk dancing and singing to the song in the style of amusical, inspired byJacques Demy'sThe Umbrellas of Cherbourg.[28] In the same year, he also directed a television commercial titled "Guerrilla Tennis" forNike featuring tennis playersAndre Agassi andPete Sampras participating in a match in the middle of an intersection in Manhattan, the "rapid-paced"title sequence for the sitcomDouble Rush and worked on videos forR.E.M., Sonic Youth andWeen.[29][30] Jonze sole video directing credit of 1996 was forThe Pharcyde's "Drop", which was filmed backwards and then reversed.[31] In 1997, Jonze made a short film calledHow They Get There, starring Mark Gonzales as a man who is playfully imitating a woman's actions on the other side of a sidewalk before running into danger.[32] Jonze worked with the electronic music duoDaft Punk on the music video for the instrumental song "Da Funk" in 1997. The clip, titledBig City Nights, follows ananthropomorphic "man-dog" wandering the streets ofNew York City.[33] His video forthe Chemical Brothers's "Elektrobank" (1997) starred his future wifeSofia Coppola as a gymnast.[34] Throughout 1997, he also worked on videos for R.E.M.,Pavement,Puff Daddy, andThe Notorious B.I.G.[35][36][37] He made acameo appearance as a paramedic inDavid Fincher's filmThe Game (1997).[38]

Her was met with universal acclaim from critics.[102]Todd McCarthy ofThe Hollywood Reporter praised Jonze for taking an old theme "the search for love and the need to 'only connect'" and embracing it "in a speculative way that feels very pertinent to the moment and captures the emotional malaise of a future just an intriguing step or two ahead of contemporary reality."[103] Scott Foundas ofVariety opined that it was Jonze's "richest and most emotionally mature work to date".[104] At the86th Academy Awards, Jonze was nominated for three Academy Awards forHer, winning forBest Original Screenplay and receiving further nominations forBest Picture andBest Original Song for co-writing "The Moon Song" with Karen O.[105] Jonze won theGolden Globe Award for Best Screenplay at the71st Golden Globe Awards.[106]
