“I Dream of Shrek Memes”

A documentary that covers the origins, evolution, and real-world effects of the digital era’s biggest social currency, memes. Using Shrekfest as an example, the documentary takes interviews from the events organizers, attendees, and Dr. Sam Summers author of the book “DreamWorks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond” to tell the story of how an ogre came to be an unlikely face of meme culture and how his reimagining unites people around the world.
