In addition to being recognized as one of the largest and most prestigious online filmmaking competitions anywhere, the PlanetOut Short Movie Awards produce stars.
Director Angela Robinson's career took off after her film "D.E.B.S" took home the PlanetOut Short Movie Awards Grand Prize in 2003. Not only was the film produced as a full length feature starring Jordana Brewster, but Robinson then went on to direct Lindsay Lohan in "Herbie Fully Loaded" and has directed several episodes of "The L Word."
Since nabbing the 2002 PlanetOut Short Movie Award for her short film "Stuck," Jamie Babbitt has gone on to become one of the most successful indie directors in Hollywood. In addition to directing the critically acclaimed comedy "But I'm a Cheerleader!,"
Babbitt has directed episodes of TV's "Alias," "Malcolm in the Middle," "Gilmore Girls," "Nip/Tuck" and numerous others. Babbitt's next film, the POWER UP-produced "Itty Bitty Titty Committee," hits theaters this fall.
Robinson and Babbitt are just two of the many PlanetOut Short Movie Awards winners who've gone on to major success in Hollywood -- and now it could be your turn.
The films of all finalists will also be streamed on Gay.com and PlanetOut.com and accessible to our combined online audience.
So what are you waiting for? You've got between now and Dec. 1, 2006 to enter your amazing (and potentially star-making) short film into the eighth annual PlanetOut Short Movie Awards!
