OTW Fannews: Paying Tribute

[otw-staff.livejournal.com]

WhoSay wrote about the short film "Fan Friction” produced for RocketJump: The Show. "The opportunity to have a story about two female characters and their friendship was really important, particularly because in geek and nerd culture there's a lot of hostility towards women historically.

So it was an important and deliberate choice to make it two female characters. The goal with the short was to make it a love letter to female fans of nerdy stuff. Ideally that will make them feel included into a world where they are often excluded from."

Fans pay tribute to things they love in many ways & sometimes they’re paid tribute to in return http://bit.ly/1RPQf3Z
