It’s all happening, holy shit.
After an incredible six-year journey, I'm so pleased to share that CHASING CHASING AMY hits theaters in the United States right now. We're playing all over the country, from Los Angeles to NYC to Kansas City and many, many places in between.
In case you don't know what the film is about, The Detroit News said it well: "Chasing Chasing Amy is an insightful look back at the movie and the place it occupies in queer culture, the '90s canon and the lives of those it touched, both for better and for worse. It's well worth chasing down." It also happens to be a tender trans boy coming of age story!
If you're in Kansas City, join me for Q&A after the film on today, November 2nd at 3 pm at Screenland Armour.
And if you're in NYC, join us for a Q&A with Producers Carrie Radigan, Matthew Mills, and Editor Sharika Ajaikumar on Sunday, November 3rd at 4pm at AMC Empire.
As of right now, Chasing Chasing Amy is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and 93% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes! And if you don't believe me or that RT score, here are some wonderful quotes from critic reviews:
“10/10. Chasing Chasing Amy is Sav Rodgers' heartfelt, transparent, and articulate look at what it is to grow up gay and transgender in a world of heteronormative hostility.” - Film Threat
"This documentary is ultimately a strong and important examination of how popular entertainment can touch and move us in unexpected and deeply personal ways." - RogerEbert.com
