<p>As you might know by now, early last year,&nbsp;Andrea&nbsp;and Jodie Bergen County started a podcast called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/watcherspodnj/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Watchers</em></a><em>,&nbsp;</em>where they watch and review movies and tv (often but not always about New Jersey). This week, they interviewed Sav Rodgers, a filmmaker whose documentary&nbsp;<em>Chasing Chasing Amy&nbsp;</em>caught their attention earlier this year.&nbsp;The title alone should tell you why we've decided to release that episode here on New Jersey Is the World.</p><br><p><em>Chasing Chasing Amy</em> is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply personal documentary that explores identity, queer representation, cinematic influence, and our evolving relationship with pop culture. In this episode of <em>The Watchers</em>, Sav Rodgers shares how the film started as a quest to understand <em>Chasing Amy</em>'s complicated connection to the LGBTQ+ community but grew into something much more meaningful. They dig into the behind-the-scenes process, from shooting interviews in people’s homes and on windy rooftops to how key editing choices helped shape the narrative, all guided by Sav’s strict “No Bullsh*t” policy. Along the way, they discuss Kevin Smith’s magnetic presence, the impact of queer narratives, and the importance of authentic storytelling.</p><br><p>Keep up with<a href="https://www.instagram.com/savrodgersfilm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Sav Rodgers</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chasingamydoc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Chasing Chasing Amy</a> on Instagram.</p><br><p>Here’s where you can see <em>Chasing Chasing Amy</em> in theaters:<a href="https://www.chasingamydoc.com/now-playing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> It's really very good</a></p><br><p>Watch Sav’s TedTalk - Sav Rodgers: The Rom-Com That Saved My Life</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
