Cambio and Killer Digital have launched a partnership aimed at thesps looking to become filmmakers by producing and directing short films -- including Kellan Lutz ("Twilight"), Troian Bellisario ("Pretty Little Liars"), Nina Dobrev ("The Vampire Diaries") and Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.The shorts will appear on the 15-month-old Cambio site, which will also feature live video chats between producer Christine Vachon and the filmmakers.
