00:08 For Jodie Bellibet, sex has always been a disaster.
00:12 But there was one place where it all made sense.
00:16 This year's Best Student Film goes to Jodie Bellibet.
00:21 [music]
00:24 After a year in L.A., I realized the closest I'd ever get to directing
00:27 was directing traffic.
00:30 Now, she's finally getting a chance.
00:33 I want someone with real filmmaking talent.
00:36 That's invaluable if we're going to make it into the mainstream.
00:39 At an exciting position.
00:41 Just shot a gladiator here.
00:42 You shot gladiator here?
00:44 Yeah, no, it's a glad he ate.
00:48 I didn't realize that this was a porn--
00:50 No, no, we do not use the P word here.
00:52 It's adult entertainment.
00:54 Jeff, this is Jodie, your new right hand.
00:58 Ha! Jodie, you don't want to be his right hand.

01:02 I would have loved to have seen your face, though, at a porn company.
01:04 Little Miss Virgin lost in a bay of pigs.

01:10 [music]
01:13 You know what we're going to do?
01:14 We're going to rent every movie they ever did from Blockbuster.
01:16 No, you can't. They're an up-and-coming company.
01:18 They're just getting off the ground.
01:19 No, we are up and coming.
01:21 [music]
01:23 This could be a huge opportunity for you.
01:25 [music]
01:27 This place has everything we need.
01:29 I couldn't have planned it any better. It's perfect.
01:31 I'll edit their porn and movies during the day--
01:33 Oh, my God.
01:34 --and make my movie at night.
01:35 The thing is, we can only shoot at night and on the weekends.
01:37 So that means cutting out pretty much all of your extracurricular activities.
01:40 You mean like carbs and stuff?
01:42 [music]
01:43 I'll never give up on you.
01:44 But one day you'll have to learn to trust me.
01:47 It's trust me, not thrust me.
01:50 [music]
01:52 People can't act, especially in a film about a virgin holding out for her wedding night.
01:56 [music]
01:58 Are you looking for attention?
02:00 What kind of attention?
02:02 [music]
02:03 Mimi Sobieski, Matt Davis, Denise Richards with Kristen Johnston and Jamie Kennedy.

02:12 You say Katie Noe has sex, but then you say she's a bot.
02:16 No, she's celibate.
02:18 It means that she doesn't have sexual intercourse.
02:20 Only in deep.
02:22 [music]
02:24 You're the best director I've ever worked with.
02:26 And I've done over 400 movies.
