SUBMIT FOR OUR FILM FESTIVAL

I’m curating a SqueeFest screening at RevelCon in Houston on March 22-24 and looking for submissions. Our Film Festival at SqueeCon was so successful that we're taking it on the road!

We are now accepting film submissions for our festival at RevelCon in Houston in March 2019. 

We are seeking film submissions to present at RevelCon, the only fan-run, fan-fun, relax-a-con in the Southwest. If you are interested in fanficton, fannish song vids, panels about your favorite media madness, art, food, friends, fun and frolic, have we got a FANtastic weekend planned for you. This is RevelCon's 30th anniversary so it will be an extra special celebration of fandom, friendship and community.

We are looking for films from female identifying and non-binary creators that explore topics through the female gaze. We are especially interested in projects that explore fandom, geek-nerd culture, feminism, pop culture, comics, cosplay, diversity, representation and alternative narratives. 

Submissions do not have to be premieres and can have screened publicly or be available online.

Genres include documentary, horror, sci-fi, fan films, animation, pop culture, meta, webisodes, vidding and more -if you have a topic you're not sure we'd accept -just ask! Our goal is to support women, female identifying and non-binary creators in film and to create an opportunity for their videos and films to be seen.

The Squee Project is a collective of fangrrl creators. We attempt to cover the full fandom experience including cosplay, conventions, comic books, movies, podcasts, fanfic, episodics, and creating spaces for women, girls, femmes and female identifying fangrrls to collaborate and network in geek-nerd culture.

>:3 RevelCon Tribble Races...

[revelcon]

Got the #revelcon29 Make'n'Take prototype finished! Anyone interested in making a fandom collage cover for your mini notebooks? Still not sure what size to run with just yet. Might have to go with the smaller notebooks so peeps have enough time to do their collages on both sides. The journal inserts are removable so you can keep using the cover as long as you want! This has room for 2 inserts but if you had an extra band or two you could easily add a few more.
