Angela Robinson (born February 14, 1971 in San Francisco, California) is an African American film director, and graduate of Brown University and New York University. Robinson is openly lesbian, and is known to frequently deal with gay and lesbian subject matter in her films.
Robinson has directed both 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 S.A.T.'s, and her sweet demeanor catches the attention of bad girl "Lucy Diamond", played by actress 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 was quoted as saying "If anything, we worked together on the script to make the relationship more complex and intimate". [1]
