CHASING CHASING AMY to Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival
— -WORLD PREMIERE AT TRIBECA FESTIVAL JUNE 8, 2023 — -
Professional Amateur Productions, Yeehaw Pictures and Spacestation are pleased to reveal the official trailer for feature documentary Chasing Chasing Amy, which will have its world premiere at Tribeca Festival 2023.
In Chasing Chasing Amy, filmmaker Sav Rodgers takes a journey of self-discovery while making a documentary about Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy and its polarizing reputation among LGBTQ+ people.
The feature documentary explores the transformational impact of the 90s rom-com on a 12 year old queer kid from Kansas, coming of age and to terms with his identity. For young Sav Rodgers, the Kevin Smith cult classic became a life raft. As Rodgers examines the film and its making as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cinema, he finds himself at a complicated crossroads.
Speaking about the upcoming world premiere, Sav Rodgers says: “The journey of making Chasing Chasing Amy has been eye-opening in so many ways. When I was younger, I felt like I had to defend my connection with Chasing Amy to other LGBTQ+ people despite its deeply personal significance. This movie that saved my life also holds a controversial history in queer film canon. I hope Chasing Chasing Amy and its making shows that things can be complicated, as can people, and the relationship we have with the movies we grow up with can be that, too.”
