Movies by Sav Rodgers

Sav Rodgers is a bold, trailblazing voice in contemporary cinema. As a documentarian and narrative filmmaker, they bring a refreshingly personal, self-reflective style to their work, exploring LGBTQ+ identity, activism, and the act of storytelling itself. Rodgers burst onto the scene with their poignant 2017 documentary Dragtivists, an intimate portrait of queer activists using drag performance as a form of political protest. This was just a precursor to their breakout 2023 film Chasing Chasing Amy, a semi-autobiographical meta-documentary that delves into Rodgers' own experiences as a filmmaker grappling with the legacy of the cult classic Chasing Amy. With its playful, self-aware approach, Chasing Chasing Amy cemented Rodgers' reputation as a distinctive, genre-blending auteur. Rodgers' ability to blend documentary and fiction filmmaking is also on full display in earlier works like the 2016 anthology film Sketches and the 2019 comedy-drama Queen for a Day. Whether chronicling the lives of drag performers or crafting nuanced character studies, Rodgers brings a vibrant, visually striking style and a keen understanding of the LGBTQ+ experience to all their projects. As an emerging cinematic voice, Sav Rodgers is poised to make an indelible mark on independent film.
