The First SqueeCon Takes Flight

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 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
