The Shrek Fandom

Quartz, 2018

An examination of the weird and wonderful Shrek fandom.

For some reason, the people at Quartz let me narrate and produce this video alongside my actual job (because I certainly wasn't hired to do this). I think I was there for only a month when I pitched this idea at 9 am on a Monday. What a will to live I had then. There is nothing more representative of the indomitable human spirit than an early twenty-something who feels she has something to prove to the world and also has never experienced "permanent downsizing."
