In 2003, two years after her worldwide successes in Rain, Jeffs second feature-length film, Sylvia, was released. The film starred Gwenyth along with Daniel Craig, this film focused on the lives of poetry writers Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. Jeffs was asked to assume the role as it progressed through production following the departure of the director who had previously been in charge and she was said to have stated that “[the project] had its blessings and its curses, because it’s such a different kettle of fish to become involved with a project at such a late stage – rather than one you sat with and dreamed with and worked on for years.”

A little over a decade after Stroke, Jeffs returned to film, and made her debut feature-length film debut as a filmmaker with Rain that was which was adapted from a short novel written by Kirsty Gunn, who wrote the novel of the same title. It premiered at the Cannes Directors Fortnight, Rain was praised with great acclaim to the point that a number of international film festivals asked to screen. The next season, Variety included Jeffs in their annual “10 Directors to Watch” lists.

She is now recognized among New Zealand’s top and most well-known commercial directors.

Jeffs has directed four films between 1993 and 2008, two of which she wrote.

After the mediocre success of Sylvia, Jeffs’ third feature-length film, Sunshine Cleaning, was released in 2008 and was written by Megan Holley. The film starred Hollywood actresses Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, taking on the roles of two sisters who start a cleaning business specifically for crime- scenes. Alan Arkin also starred in the film as the peculiar father of the two women.
