About the film:
World Premiere, Tribeca Film Festival 2023
This charming, earnest meta-documentary examines the transformational impact of a ’90s rom-com on a 12-year-old queer kid growing up in Kansas. For young Sav Rodgers, the Kevin Smith cult classic Chasing Amy (1997) became lifesaving representation of queer identity. A deeper dive into the film as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cinema finds the director at many unexpected and emotional crossroads. Learn more & purchase tickets.
