Kevin Smith's 'Chasing Amy' is one of my favorite films. I was just discussing its themes of friendship, love and disappointment yesterday. But it may mean even more to filmmaker Sav Rodgers.

In 'Chasing Chasing Amy' Rodgers examines the film and its making as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cinema but also finds himself at a complicated crossroads.

Geekscapists might not know the name Xaque Gruber but he and I have a history that goes back longer than Geekscape: almost 20 years!
