Chasing Chasing Amy
Sav Rodgers follows in the footsteps of his teen-age enchantment, Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy. He takes the 1990s independent cinema historical perspective and reminisces on the reluctance of lesbian audiences toward the film, endeavoring to find what the film currently means to an adult transgender filmmaker.

Sav Rodgers
