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.
