POWER UP was conceived and founded by Stacy Codikow in October 2000 with the mission "to promote the visibility and integration of gay women in entertainment, arts and all forms of media," POWER UP has been "challenging perception through film," which is one of POWER UP's greatest accomplishments and gifts. Since its inception POWER UP has produced award-winning shorts and features including Itty Bitty, Prom-troversy, Little Black Boot, The Nearly Unadventurous Life of Zoe Cadwaulder and D.E.B.S.
