kylaraingress: Angie in front of Richard III poster (Default)
I've written before about the term 'fangirl' and its current place in fandom. Of course, I'm not the only fan who's taken to reclaiming the word and redefining myself as a fangirl. Hansi Oppenheimer is a filmmaker who has considered herself a fangrrl since at least the age of 6, but wanted to explore what it meant to be a woman in fandom. What was originally going to be a feature film turned into the ongoing YouTube documentary project, Squee! The Fangrrl Project. A couple of months ago, she announced that she was going to do a mini-convention, SqueeCon, in December.

I sat down with Hansi and talked about what it means to be a fangirl, her approach to creating the documentary, and where she wants to go from here.
