Education

Career
Robinson is a lesbian and frequently deals with gay and lesbian topics in her films. Robinson has directed an award winning short film Doctorate.E.B.S. (2003) produced by POWER Uttar Pradesh and a feature-length film Doctorate.E.B.S. (2004). In the feature-length film, Robinson explores the young lesbian relationship of characters Amy and Lucy.
In the undercover spy film, several of the teenage girls depicted are either lesbian or bisexual, and those sexual orientations are central to the film.
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". In 2007, Robinson created the online series Girltrash! which resides on www.ourchart.com, an online offshoot of the television series, The L Word.
Robinson has served as a writer and co-executive producer for Home Box Office television series Hung, and as a writer for the series True Blood.
In addition to her film and television work, Robinson also wrote the first four issues of the Web ongoing series at District of Columbia Comics. Robinson wrote the screenplay for a musical feature film and prequel to her Girltrash! series, Girltrash: All Night Long directed by Alexandra Kondracke. Robinson was also one of the producers for the film.
In March 2012 it was announced that Robinson would write a supernatural teen thriller with Dawn Olmstead (Prison Break) and Marti Noxon (Mad Men) attached as producers.
She is not to be confused with Angela Terry Robinson, who is also a filmmaker and motion picture editors
