ABOUT
THE SHOWS:
Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and
celebrated by This American Life, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club,
Entertainment Weekly's "Must List", Esquire, Jane, Bust, Daily
Candy and more... Mortified is a comic excavation
of adolescent artifacts (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies,
stories and more) as shared by their original authors before total strangers.

THE MORTIFIED METHOD: OUR GUIDELINES
Eveyone needs words to live by. Moses had ten commandments. Dogma 95 had ten vows of chastity. Fight Club had eight rules. The Babysitters Club had, well, something. Here's our approach...
- Mortified collects artifacts of adolescent expression (writing, art, media) through open calls for participants
- Mortified collaborates with authors to organize presentations around unique personal themes and narratives that emerge from the material
- Material must be presented by its original author
- Material must be authentic; language is only altered to protect the innocent, awkward or angsty
