    GeekGirlCon’12: Stephanie Thorpe returns to Seattle

    Press ReleaseBy Press ReleaseAugust 2, 20123 Mins Read

    Press Release

    Actor/Producer/New Media Maven STEPHANIE THORPE brings the evolution of the ‘geek girl’ into the forefront, returning to Seattle as a panelist at the 2nd Annual GeekGirlCon 2012 on Saturday August 11 and Sunday, August 12, 2012.

    Thorpe arrives at GeekGirlCon this year after a celebrated appearance on the successful panel “The Most Dangerous Women at Comic-Con” and the panel for her hit series “Shelf Life” at SDCC 2012. One of the most recognizable women in the fields of geek culture and content creation, Thorpe is a vocal advocate for building diverse and interesting roles for women. “As a producer, I’ve been able to create and tell stories in a niche I adore, sci-fi and fantasy. I grew up reading about strong female characters, and wanted to see them portrayed on screen. Specifically, I wanted to see more science fiction and fantasy so that’s what I’ve produced for the web. I’ve had the opportunity to be an actress, new media speaker, content creator, a writer, a producer and I love that the stories I’m contributing to the culture are contributing to the flourishing of all things geek.”

    “Geek Girls Creating Their Own Films and Shows” pulls together a panel of female creators who took their love of the geek life and turned it into a career. Thorpe will be joined by: Kristen Nedeopak (The Skyrim Parodies, Fight Class), Bonnie Burton (SFX Magazine) and Christa Charter (The Sleepless Nanny).

    “Geek Girls in Popular Culture” takes an in-depth look at how the landscape has changed over the years and what it looks like now. Thorpe will be joined by: Amy Berg (Eureka, Person of Interest), Cecil Castellucci (The Year of the Beasts, Boy Proof), Javier Grillo-Marxuach (The Middleman, Lost), Sarah Watson (The Middleman, Parenthood) and Sarah Kuhn (One Con Glory, Chicks Dig Comics).
