A cinephile’s pilgrimage takes more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at, as Sav Rodgers plunges deep into the legacy of Kevin Smith’s indie hit.
Chasing Amy is a film that meant so much to Sav growing up in Kansas. For the first time, it showed lives where people could be their authentic selves. Now as a director, Sav had the unique opportunity to step inside the real locations for the film, interview the participants and also grow and find an authentic identity as an adult.
Chasing Chasing Amy premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and premiered in the UK at the BFI LFF on 14 October 2023.
