Film Details:
This documentary examines the complex legacy of Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy on LGBTQ+ people and its life-saving impact on director Sav Rodgers. Both a tribute to the movie that saved his life as a queer kid, coming of age in Kansas, and an exploration of its mixed reviews from the LGBTQ+ community, the doc features candid interviews with Smith and start Joey Lauren Adams, discovering their journey of making their movie that was far more difficult and emotional than anyone could have possibly known. This is a trans coming of age love story, set against the backdrop of an indie film that solidified some careers and damaged others, exploring the power of media representation and the importance of cinema that shapes our lives.
