Career

Robinson has directed an award winning short film "D.E.B.S. (2003 film)" and a feature length film "D.E.B.S. (2004 film)". In the feature length film, Robinson centers the film around the teenage lesbian relationship of characters Amy and Lucy. In that undercover spy film, several of the teenage girls depicted are either lesbian or bisexual, and those sexual orientations are central to the film. Amy, played by actress Sara Foster, is depicted as an intelligent teenage girl who scored extremely high on her SATs, and her sweet demeanor catches the attention of bad girl Lucy Diamond, played by Jordana Brewster, who sets her sights on seducing Amy while striving for world domination. Although some feared that producers would pressure Robinson into downplaying the lesbian aspects of the film, Robinson later indicated that she received full support, and that the lesbian relationship between Amy and Lucy remained intact. Robinson said "If anything, we worked together on the script to make the relationship more complex and intimate".cite web
