“Chasing Chasing Amy,” a documentary feature which has played at over 75 film festivals and featured on The Popcorn List of outstanding undistributed films, has been picked up for world sales by Level 33 Entertainment.
The film explores the complex legacy of Kevin Smith’s 1997 cult classic movie “Chasing Amy” on LGBTQ+ people and its life-saving impact on Sav Rodgers, who makes his feature-length directing debut with the documentary. The film explores the transformational impact of the rom-com on a 12-year-old queer kid from Kansas, coming of age and to terms with his identity. Rodgers says it took him a “lifetime” to make.
Smith’s “Chasing Amy” chronicles the impact on the long-term friendship of two new Jersey comic book artists when they are joined by a third artist, who turns out to be lesbian. The fallout includes heartbreak and jealousy. It starred Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams.
