00:00 Do you understand why I love this movie so much?

00:02 No.

00:04 For Sav Rogers, a queer kid growing up in Kansas,

00:07 role models came from an unexpected source.

00:10 When I was 12, I had a movie where

00:11 the gay and lesbian characters were good and funny and out.

00:15 They were able to live as their authentic selves.

00:17 Chasing Amy.

00:18 Chasing Amy.

00:19 The third film from director Kevin Smith.

00:21 It's about a guy who falls in love with a lesbian.

00:24 But Sav's about to find out.

00:26 Life's not about finding your heroes.

00:28 Welcome to the house of Amyville.

00:30 It's about finding yourself.

00:32 I'm directing a project about the legacy of Chasing

00:39 Amy as an LGBTQ film.

00:41 You find the film to be authentic

00:43 to the LGBTQ community.

00:44 I find it authentic to the straight dude who falls

00:47 for a queer woman community.

00:49 No longer being a lesbian by meeting the right man.

00:52 That's going to be controversial.

00:53 Ben Affleck's goatee was a bad idea.

00:56 That's going in the movie.

00:58 Something that's problematic can still

00:59 mean a lot in your development.

01:02 It was brave to portray somebody fluid.

01:04 Seeing that movie helped me figure out, oh, that's me.

01:07 That's gay.

01:08 This girl loves me.

01:10 It's cool to come to a place where a bunch of stuff

01:12 change your life.

01:13 All right, let's go.

01:19 This is where they have their big fight.

01:23 Well, we're purifying it with our butts.

01:27 You were so supportive, and I was so alone in the world.

01:30 How wonderful that you found something in it.

01:35 The movie is amazing.

01:37 But whatever moved you was a dark side, too.

01:40 I can't erase the past.

01:42 You don't just get a pass for that.

01:43 I didn't know what I expected.

01:44 I did not expect all this.

01:45 Maybe what's really troubling you

01:49 is that your fragile fantasy might not be true.

01:52 Can we talk?

01:54 This movie made me be honest with myself.

01:56 Chasing Amy and chasing, chasing Amy.

01:58 My butt has been more Ben Affleck's butt has been.

02:04 Basically Ben Affleck.

02:06 A little shorter.
