On December 1st, The Squee! Project  will host its very first gathering of creators, consumers, and fans for a day of community at the Lyric Hall Theater in New Haven, Connecticut.

The Squee Project is a collective of fangrrl creators.

The Program so far includes featured screenings of Wayward: The Documentary, a sneak preview of the upcoming docu-series Looking For Leia, the premiere of the third installment of the Squee! Project web-series, and a program of short films.

Well known cosplay guests include:

  • Cate Broomhead & Christine Evans of The_Cos_n_Effect

About the Squee Project

The Squee! Project is a docu-series that explores different aspects of the fangrrl experience in each episode. We have screened at dozens of festivals and conventions, presented panels and won awards.  The name Squee! comes from the fangrrl term for joyous excitement.

Team Squee is a collaborative group of women in fandom that contribute to the Project, and they’re always looking for new partners in crime. You can join the fun by contacting them at troubledgirlfilms@yahoo.com or following their Twitter feed.
