About the production of the film Though D.E.B.S. is an action-packed adventure comedy, the making of the film was more like a Cinderella story. It all began several years ago when writer/director Angela Robinson sketched a few comic book drawings of an idea she had for an all-girl crew of high school secret agents. D.E.B.S. was born, quite literally, on the drawing board. With colorful characters, a sexy uber-villain, and a Technicolor premise, Robinson felt her story seemed perfectly suited to a comic book or cartoon. Although she flirted with turning the project into a web animation, it never materialized. Fresh from film school, Robinson received a grant from an organization called “Power Up” to produce a ten-minute short, and she decided to move her drawings from paper to the big screen; bringing to life the film version of D.E.B.S. |
