Experiencing Interruptions?

Squee! Identifying As A Fangirl

The Squee Project explores topics of womanhood, feminism, representation, creativity and production, body image, race, sexuality and more. As fangirl creators, we attempt to cover the full fandom experience including cosplay, conventions, comic books, movies, podcasts, fanfic, episodics, and creating spaces for women, girls and femmes to collaborate and network in geek-nerd culture. In addition to our long form pilot episode "Identifying As A Fangirl", we create short form video interviews, aca-fandom editorials, con coverage, unboxing, book, tv, and film reviews.
Our pilot episode "Identifying As A Fangirl" has won 4 awards and screened at dozens of conventions and film festivals. We also present panels on women and fandom at conventions.
