Chasing Chasing Amy
Fine Acts is the Executive Producer of Chasing Chasing Amy, a documentary about the 1997 film Chasing Amy and its cultural impact on the LGBTQ+ community. It is directed by Sav Rodgers, a narrative and documentary filmmaker and screenwriter.
In June 2023, the film had its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, to high critical acclaim.
Chasing Chasing Amy explores the legacy of Kevin Smith's movie, and follows the journey of trans filmmaker Sav Rodgers as he finds his true identity. The TED talk Sav gave in 2018, where he talked about how the 1997 title saved his life, kickstarted his filmmaking journey. In this celebration of identity and LGBTQ+ film culture, Rodgers provides a new outlook on a complicated classic. By shifting his lens between himself and the participants, the documentary proves how vital nuanced filmmaking, and art in general, can be to LGBTQ+ communities.
Sav Rodgers is a TED Resident, an OutSet Fellow at Outfest, an Adobe Project 1324 award recipient, and a Narrative Shorts Programmer at the Slamdance Film Festival.
