A.C. and Kat are joined by director Sav Rodgers to discuss his documentary feature debut, CHASING CHASING AMY, and the complicated legacy of its subject matter, Kevin Smith’s 1997 film CHASING AMY. Sav shares about the arduous process of becoming the central story in his own doc, and examining his relationship to the movie that saved his life as a young queer person. We explore how we take our various fandoms seriously, and what it means to blend loving a piece of media with making that love the focus of our work and/or our identities.
