Jason Gould followed in the footsteps of his mother Barbra Streisand once again in 1996 when he took to the director's chair for the first, and so far last, time. "Inside Out" was a 27-minute short film about a celebrity offspring who's wrongly reported to have married a man by the tabloid press. It was a storyline plucked straight from Gould's very own personal life, of course.

Indeed, back in 1991, Gould faced the exact same scenario himself. And nine years on, he told SFGate that he enjoyed blurring the boundaries between truth and fiction: "I knew I was being provocative. I liked walking that line. I knew that may be confusing, but I thought that would be interesting ... I'm the inspiration, I guess but the character is not named Jason. And when I see it, I see a character, a story. I don't see a re-creation of my life because it's not that."

As SFGate noted, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival, and in 2000 it was included in an anthology of LGBTQ shorts titled "Boys Life 3." By this point, Gould was able to recognize that the movie had a different purpose than what he'd first thought. "When I made it I didn't really realize what I was communicating through the film," he shared with the outlet. "It's taken me a little bit of time and depth perception to see that it really is about self-acceptance."
